Compare with as … as.
Before the new story, let's bring back your words from Lessons 1 and 2. The ones ready to review are waiting here — a little today, a little in a few days.
Read it slowly. Say the words out loud.
It is games day in the park! There is a funny sack race. 🏃
Mia and Tom both jump in big sacks. Rosa is the referee with a whistle.
"Ready? Go!" They hop and hop. Mia is fast — but Tom is as fast as Mia!
They jump side by side. Tom is not as young as Mia, but he is strong! 💪
At the finish, they cross the line together. It is a tie! 🎀
They fall on the grass, laughing. "You're as good as me!" says Mia.
"We're both winners!" laughs Tom. They share the little ribbon. 🏅
Tap a card to see its meaning. These eight join your review deck — next to the words from Lessons 1 and 2.
Look at the pattern, then use it.
Compare things that are the same or different. Fill the gaps, then say them out loud.
Tap to check yourself, then rate how well you knew each one.
Now YOU are on the grass after the big sack race!
Your teacher is Tom. Speak your lines — don't write them.
Tom: "What a race! You are very fast, Mia!"
You: (tell him he is the same speed as you — compare the two of you)
Tom: "Ha! But you are young. I am sixty!"
You: (agree — compare his age and yours — but say he is strong)
Tom: "So tell me, referee's friend — who is the winner?"
You: (say nobody won — say what the race was, and that you are both equally good)
Now YOU are Tom, and your teacher is Mia. But this time it was a swimming race, and Rosa was in it too.
