Kindergarten Book Orientation Quiz: Is It Right Side Up?

📚 Quick Study Guide

• ⬆️ Top vs. Bottom: The top of the book is usually where the title and author's name are most prominent.
• 🖼️ Cover Image: Look at the picture on the cover. Is it upright and makes sense?
• 📖 Reading Direction: In English, we read from left to right and top to bottom. The beginning of the story is usually on the right side when you open the book.

• 🤝 Spine Location: When holding the book correctly, the spine (the bound edge) should be on your left.
