ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Lead paragraph

Okay kiddo, let me explain what a lead paragraph is. When we read a story or an article, we usually start by reading the first few sentences. These sentences are called the lead paragraph, and they are really important because they grab our attention and tell us what the story is about. It's like the introduction to a book or a movie. The lead paragraph is usually short and sweet, but it gives us enough information to decide whether we want to keep reading or not. So, think of the lead paragraph as the opening scene in a movie - it sets the tone for the rest of the story and makes us excited to find out what happens next!
