Story Let us read.

Between Home and School
Hello, I am Ravi. I study in Class 2. My friend and I go to school on foot. We pass
h gh the paddy fields, the mango grove and then reach the main road. That is the
t rou

shortest route we take to school. What fun we have every day!

— jumping over the canals!

— climbing the trees!

— swinging from the branches!

— watching garden lizards!

Yet we reach school on time.

Read the story aloud, slowly.
Rav an s r n wa to s oo . T y av un on t
i d hi f ie d lk ch l he h e f he way. Yet they reach on time.
