Bold terms are special words that stand out to help you understand important ideas.
Imagine you're reading a story about a robot who goes on an adventure. The word robot is bold, so you know it's something important, maybe the main character or a cool new invention. It’s like when your teacher points at a word on the board and says, “This one is really important!”
Why we use bold terms
When you read, sometimes there are lots of new words. Using bold helps you focus on the most important ones, just like how highlighter pens make certain parts of your homework stand out.
Think of it like this: You're playing a game with friends, and one person is the leader. The word leader is bold, so everyone knows who to follow. It makes everything easier to understand!
So next time you see a bold word, remember, it’s there to help you learn something new!
