Once upon a time, in a land far away, there was a little boy named Sam. Sam loved to read and learn new words. One day, Sam's teacher gave him a special book filled with sight words. These were important words that Sam needed to know to become a great reader. Sam was excited to learn them!
Sam opened the book and started reading. He learned words like 'the', 'and', 'is', 'to', and 'in'. These words were everywhere! Sam saw them in books, on signs, and even on his favorite TV show. He practiced saying them out loud and soon became really good at recognizing them.
One sunny day, Sam's mom took him on a trip to visit some amazing universities. These were special places where people went to learn lots of things. Sam was thrilled to explore!
First, they visited Harvard University. Sam saw students studying in beautiful libraries and classrooms. He noticed that the sight words he had learned were written on posters all around the campus. Sam felt proud because he could read them all!
Next, they went to Stanford University. Sam saw scientists doing cool experiments and athletes playing sports. He found sight words on banners and signs, cheering everyone on. Sam realized that sight words were important not just for reading, but for all kinds of learning!
