Okay kiddo, so when you read a news article, sometimes it can be hard to understand what is going on. That's where the nut graph comes in! It's a few sentences in the beginning of the article that explains the most important information.
Think of it like a nut (like a peanut or an almond) - the nut is the most important part, and the nut graph is like cracking open the shell to get to the good stuff inside. It's like a summary of the article, so you can understand what it's about without having to read the whole thing.
So next time you read a news article and there's a nut graph, make sure you read it first so you know what's going on!
