Explanation:
- Look at the map and find the green area with trees and a fountain. That’s the park.
- See which streets cross right where the park is. You’ll see “First Avenue” and “Second Avenue” meeting there.

Teach the Topic:
Reading a map is like following a treasure hunt! Maps show you where things are using pictures and street names. The key is to look for clues—like the shape of a building or a green patch for a park—and then check what street names are nearby. For example, if you’re looking for a playground, find the swing set picture on the map, then read the street names next to it. Easy!
Simple Example:
On a different map, you see a red fire hydrant icon. The streets around it are “Oak Street” and “Maple Lane.” Where is the fire hydrant? Answer: At the corner of Oak Street and Maple Lane.
