How to Read the Picture
Three levels of writing in one neighborhood:
👤
PERSON = WORD
Each individual citizen has one specific job or meaning.
👨👩👧👦
FAMILY = SENTENCE
Words hold hands in order to create a complete thought.
🏘️
COMMUNITY = PARAGRAPH
All families live in the same park around one central topic.
