## Lesson: Asking for Help with Learning

Sometimes a task feels hard. First, try it yourself. Give it a real try, not just one peek.

*(drawing: Try first. Still stuck? Then ask for help.)*

**Example.** Mia gets stuck on a tricky word in her book. She sounds it out three times, but it still will not come. Mia asks her teacher, and they sound it out together.

**Tip.** Asking for help is not giving up. It means you know a smart next step.

**Recap.** Try it first, then ask for help if you're stuck.
