The Excellent Reading Team
One sunny day, the Annual Reading Championship was held at Lincoln Middle School. The competition was fierce, with teams from different grades participating. One team, named 'The Excellent Readers,' stood out. The Excellent Readers didn't just read their books. They dove into the stories, as if swimming in an ocean of words. They would discuss the characters, dissect the plot, and guess the ending. This wasn't just reading—it was exploring. They had a secret recipe for success. After reading a passage, they would pause to summarize it in their own words. They constantly asked questions like, "What does this mean?" or "Why did this character do that?" This helped them understand the story better. In the end, The Excellent Readers won the championship! They showed everyone that reading is not just about saying words aloud—it's about understanding, questioning, and analyzing. That's how real reading comprehension works. So, next time you pick up a book, remember the Excellent Readers. Dive into the ocean of words, ask questions about the story, and don't forget to summarize. That's how you become an excellent reader, too!
