What this lesson teaches
In a real book, two things can be connected, like rain and puddles.
Worked examples
Example 1
The sun comes up, and then the flower opens — one thing leads to the other.
Example 2
You plant a seed, then you water it, and then it grows — each step leads to the next.
Example 3
Words like 'first,' 'next,' and 'last' are clues that the book is telling you an order.
Practice questions
- What two things go together in your book?
- How does one lead to the other?

Cómo se Conectan
En un libro real, dos cosas pueden estar conectadas, como la lluvia y los charcos.
Ejemplo 1: Sale el sol, y luego la flor se abre — una cosa lleva a la otra.
Ejemplo 2: Plantas una semilla, luego la riegas y después crece — cada paso lleva al siguiente.
Ejemplo 3: Palabras como 'primero', 'luego' y 'al final' son pistas de que el libro te está dando un orden.
