Lesson preview
This is the real lesson text your child hears, read aloud by a friendly voice.
Moving from one place to live in another is called migration.
People move for many reasons: a new job, to be near family, for school or to be safe.
Someone who moves to live in a new country is an immigrant.
Immigrants bring their foods, music, languages and traditions. Communities become richer!
Moving can be hard. Being kind and welcoming helps new neighbors feel at home.
For parents
