A reading path is like a road map that helps you know where to start reading a book and how to move through it in the right order. It's like following the steps in a recipe, where you need to know what to do first, then next, and so on until you reach the end.
When you open a book, you will usually start reading at the beginning, which is the first page called the title page (it has the book's title and author's name on it). Then, you will turn over the next page, which is the copyright page that has information about who owns the rights to the book and when it was published.
After that, you will start reading through the book, chapter by chapter, in the order they appear. It's important to read them in order because they usually build upon each other and tell a story.
Sometimes books have things called footnotes or endnotes, which are extra bits of information that are important but don't fit into the main text of the book. They will be marked in the text with a little number or a symbol, and you can find the corresponding note at the bottom of the page (for footnotes) or at the end of the book (for endnotes).
As you read, you might come across words or phrases you don't understand. It's okay to stop and ask an adult for help or use a dictionary to look up unknown words. The more you read, the more you will learn and understand.
Finally, when you reach the end of the book, you will find a conclusion or an epilogue that wraps up the story and ties up any loose ends. Then, you can close the book and know that you've completed the reading path from beginning to end.
