Reading: Crossing the Street Safely
Read the story. Then answer the questions.
Streets are busy with cars, buses and bikes. To cross safely, always walk with a grown-up and cross at a crosswalk or at a corner.
First, stop at the curb. Then look left, look right and look left again. Listen for cars too. Cross only when the road is clear.
At a traffic light, wait for the walk signal. A white walking person means you may cross. A red hand means stop and wait. Walk, do not run, and keep looking while you cross.
- Where is the safest place to cross?
- Which way do you look first?
- What does a red hand mean?
- Who should you cross the street with?
- Why should you walk, not run, across the street?
