But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only ____. How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter, we do seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than ____. Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of thinking. When we read or write something, we do much more than simple look at words on a page. We use our ____, which is real, and our imagination, which is real in a different way, to make the words come to life in our minds.

We help the writer by ____ that what we read is like real life. ____, we are writing the book, too.
Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our ____ when we are reading. We pick up a book and lose ourselves in a good story, eager to find out what will ____ next.
