Maya loved the stories in her books, but there was one problem. She couldn't read them by herself. The words were all jumbled and blurry. Maya felt sad that she couldn't enjoy the stories on her own.

One day, Maya's teacher, Miss Johnson, noticed Maya's love for books and her struggle to read them. Miss Johnson decided to help Maya. She taught her how to sound out letters and blend them together to make words.

As Maya practiced more and more, she started to recognize words. The jumbled letters turned into clear, meaningful sentences. Maya's excitement grew as she read her first book all by herself.
