Reading Comprehension
Read the text below aloud.
In the movie Inside Out, we see inside the mind of Riley, an 11-year-old girl. Riley has five main emotions: Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust. Each internal emotion helps Riley react to what is happening around her. In the story, Riley moves to a new town and a new school, which makes her nervous - life changes completely. The emotions have to work together to help Riley get through this big transition.

Joy tries to keep Riley blissful all the time, but sometimes Sadness appears. Fear tries to protect Riley from dangerous things, and Anger gets upset when things are unfair. Disgust helps Riley avoid things she doesn’t like, like bad food. Each emotion serves a purpose.

Eventually, Riley learns that Sadness is not just a negative emotion. It is important because it helps her connect with others who comfort her. In the end, Riley feels better because she understands the spectrum of her emotions, not just the happy ones. What a wonderful lesson!
