Words You Need

Read and Listen

Play the audio while you read, or listen after you read.

Morning is the first part of the day. For many people, it begins when they wake up. Some people wake up when an alarm rings. Others wake up without one.

After they get out of bed, people often wash their face, brush their teeth, and get dressed. They may take a shower before they get dressed.

Many people eat breakfast in the morning. They may also drink coffee, tea, milk, or water. Children get ready for school, and adults get ready for work.

Then people leave home, start work, or begin school. Not everyone has the same morning. Some people wake up early, and others wake up later. A morning can be busy or slow, but it is often the time when people get ready for the day.
