Priya stands smiling in front of the cozy train station, wearing her backpack and looking excited. The train station has a cheerful sign that reads 'Story Town' above the door. In the background, rolling green hills, puffy white clouds, and a bright golden sunny sky stretch across the countryside.

Priya loved puzzles more than anything! She loved puzzles with shapes. She loved puzzles with numbers. And most of all, she loved puzzles with words. Today, Priya walked to the little train station at the edge of town. A sign on the station read "Story Town."

Priya stands beside the rainbow train on the track, looking up at the conductor, who scratches his head with a puzzled expression. The rainbow train sits still on the colorful winding track. In the background, the cozy train station with its 'Story Town' sign and a red barn sit among green rolling hills.

At the station, Priya found a shiny little train with rainbow-painted cars sitting on the track. But the train was not moving! A friendly conductor stood beside it, scratching his head. "Oh dear," said the conductor. "This train will not go!"

The conductor points toward the row of rainbow-painted train cars while Priya claps her hands together eagerly, looking determined and happy. In the background, the colorful winding train track stretches into the green countryside under a golden sunny sky.

"What is wrong?" asked Priya. The conductor pointed to the train cars. "This is a sight word train," he said. "Each car needs a sight word to make the train go. Someone must read the words out loud!" Priya clapped her hands. "I can do that! I love words!"

Priya stands aboard the first rainbow train car, pointing at the big bold word 'the' painted on its side, her mouth open as she reads it aloud. The train's wheels begin to turn on the track. In the background, green rolling hills dotted with friendly cows waving and puffy white clouds fill the countryside.

Priya hopped aboard the first car. A big, bold word was painted on its side: "the." "The!" Priya read out loud. Chug, chug! The train moved forward just a little bit. "It worked!" cheered Priya.

Priya moves between two rainbow train cars showing the big bold words 'is' and 'and' painted on their sides. She waves at friendly sheep and chickens standing by a red barn as the train chugs along the winding track. In the background, a big red barn sits among rolling green hills under puffy white clouds and golden sunshine.

Priya moved to the next car. "Is!" she read. Chug, chug! Then the next car: "And!" Chug, chug, chug! The train rolled faster now. The wheels turned, and the track curved past a big red barn. Friendly animals in the fields waved as the train went by.

Priya rides joyfully on the rainbow train as it chugs along the winding track, her hair blowing in the wind. Two train cars display the big bold words 'can' and 'see' on their sides. In the background, the bright countryside stretches out with rolling green hills, a winding track, and a golden sunny sky.

"Can!" read Priya on the next car. Chug! "See!" she read on the one after that. Chug, chug! The train was really moving now! The wind blew through Priya's hair as the train zoomed along the winding track. "This is fun!" she laughed.

Priya stands happily on the rainbow train, reading from three train cars that display the big bold words 'my,' 'like,' and 'go' painted on their sides. The train speeds along the curving track. In the background, rolling green hills with friendly horses waving from the fields and puffy white clouds dot the sky.

Two more cars came next. "My!" Priya read. Chug! "Like!" Chug, chug! Then she read one more: "Go!" The train zoomed even faster down the track. Priya giggled as the hills rolled by. Sight words were making the train move!

Priya and the conductor stand on the rainbow train looking worried at a blank train car with no word on its side. The train is stopped at the bottom of a big green hill on the track. In the background, the big green hill rises up ahead with the winding track going over it, under a golden sky with puffy clouds.

But then—screeeech! The train stopped at the bottom of a big hill. "Oh no!" said Priya. She looked ahead and saw one more car. But this car had no word on it! It was blank. "The train cannot go up the hill without all its words!" said the conductor.

Priya sits on the rainbow train with her chin resting on her hand, thinking hard. All the train cars stretch behind her showing the big bold words 'the,' 'is,' 'and,' 'can,' 'see,' 'my,' 'like,' and 'go' on their sides. In the background, the green countryside and the big hill with the winding track sit under a bright golden sky.

Priya thought hard. This was a puzzle, and she loved puzzles! She looked at all the words she had read: the, is, and, can, see, my, like, go. "These words want to make a sentence," she said. "What word is missing?" She thought and thought.

Priya stands tall on the rainbow train, arms raised in triumph, shouting joyfully. The once-blank train car now glows with the big bold word 'we' freshly appeared on its side in bright, shimmering letters. In the background, the big green hill and the winding track stretch ahead under a golden sky with puffy white clouds.

"Can... go... see... my..." Priya whispered. Then her eyes lit up! "I know! The missing word is 'we!' We can go see my friends!" She shouted it proudly: "WE!" And just like that, the big, bold word "we" appeared on the blank car. It glowed bright and beautiful!

Priya rides the rainbow train as it arrives in Story Town, a cheerful little village with a train station. A big bright banner stretches across the station reading 'We can go see my friends!' The conductor waves his hat happily. In the background, the cozy buildings of Story Town with colorful rooftops and bunting decorations sit under a golden sunny sky.

Chug, chug, chug, ZOOM! The train raced up the big hill and down the other side. It zoomed right into Story Town! At the station, all the words from the cars came together to make a sentence on a big, bright banner: "We can go see my friends!" Everyone in Story Town cheered!

Priya stands at the Story Town train station, waving goodbye with a big smile as the rainbow train chugs away down the winding track into the distance. The conductor waves from the train. In the background, the colorful winding track stretches through the bright countryside with rolling green hills, puffy clouds, and a golden sunset sky.

Priya smiled the biggest smile. "Sight words are the little words that help big stories move forward!" she said. The conductor tipped his hat. "And you read every one!" Priya waved goodbye as the rainbow train chugged off to its next adventure. She could not wait to read more words tomorrow!
