Reading for Everyday Life

Reading Beyond School

Reading skills are useful everywhere, not just on tests! You use them to understand instructions, follow recipes, read maps, or stay informed about the world.

Tips for Everyday Reading

  • Skim for important information.
  • Look for headings, lists, and bold words.
  • Ask questions if something is unclear.

Real-World Scenarios

Reading well helps you make smart decisions, like comparing product reviews or understanding a contract.

Examples

  • Reading a bus schedule to figure out when your ride arrives.

  • Following a recipe to make your favorite cookies.
