Oliver learns to read

Oliver was a little boy who loved books more than anything else. Every night, he would ask his mom to read him a story before bed. Oliver loved the pictures and the adventures in every book. He dreamed of reading by himself one day. But reading was tricky for him, and the words seemed to dance on the pages. He often felt sad because he couldn't read like the other kids. His mom always told him that everyone learns at their own pace. Oliver decided he would not give up.

One day, Oliver's teacher gave him a special book. It was filled with colorful pictures and big, easy words. Oliver was excited and a bit nervous. He opened the book and tried to read the first page. The words were still hard, but he could recognize some of them. His teacher sat with him and helped him with the tricky parts. Oliver felt a little spark of happiness. He realized that with help, he could start to understand the words. This was the beginning of his reading journey.

Oliver's teacher showed him a fun game with letters. Each letter had a sound and a story of its own. Oliver learned how to make the sounds with his mouth. He practiced every day, turning the sounds into words. It was like magic to him! The more he practiced, the more words he could read. Oliver started to feel proud of himself. He was unlocking the secrets of the books he loved.

Oliver's friends noticed he was trying hard to read. They offered to help him during playtime. They would take turns reading stories aloud. Oliver listened carefully to how they pronounced the words. Sometimes, they would act out the stories, making it even more fun. Oliver felt happy to have such kind friends. With their help, he was learning faster than ever. He realized that reading could be a team effort.

At home, Oliver decided to create a special reading corner. He filled it with his favorite books and a comfy chair. His mom added some colorful pillows to make it cozy. Every day after school, Oliver would spend time there. He practiced reading the words he learned at school. Sometimes, he would read to his stuffed animals. It became his favorite place in the house. Oliver felt safe and happy in his reading corner.

One evening, Oliver picked up a book about a brave knight. He slowly read the title and felt excited. With his mom by his side, he started reading the first page. The knight went on a thrilling adventure, and Oliver was captivated. He stumbled over some words, but his mom helped him. Together, they finished the story, and Oliver was filled with joy. He realized he was reading more than ever before. The brave knight became his favorite story.

Oliver's teacher had a surprise for him one day. She told him he would read a story to the class. Oliver felt nervous but also excited. He chose the story of the brave knight, his favorite. With his teacher's encouragement, he practiced reading it aloud. On the day of the reading, his classmates listened eagerly. Oliver read with confidence and joy. Everyone clapped and cheered when he finished. Oliver felt proud and happy.
