Practice Your Reading Comprehension
Reading children’s books can be a helpful way to improve your English language skills. They always have pictures to help you understand new vocabulary and what is happening in the story. They also often use simple language to discuss everyday experiences, making it a practical tool. Sometimes these experiences are related to childhood, but nowadays many children’s books talk about deeper topics that affect everyone, including adults.
“See Where We Come From!” by Scot Ritchie is one of these children’s books. Its story is simple but important; it follows a group of friends growing up together and learning what it means to live in a multicultural society like Canada.
