Keep your eyes wide open. You will be taken through fictional stories and nonfiction texts. In the fictional stories you will find narrations in the form of imaginative or invented short stories. In the non-fiction texts you will find also narrations now offering information about facts and reality. As you make your way along the stories, study their content and characteristics closely. The activities at the end of each text will help you do this. And then, the glossary on some pages will give you the meaning of difficult words.
