When we read books we seem to enter a new world. This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very 41 . Some stories are old 42 they were true. Real people who live in a 43 world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not 44 . They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be 45 for us.

In a way, we are writing the book, too.
Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our 58 when we are reading. We pick up a book and lose 59 in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next. Knowing how we feel 60 we read can help us become better readers, and it will
