What children learn in Level 49

Taller means it reaches higher. These towers stand on the same floor, so we can compare them. The red tower is taller than the blue tower.
The blue tower is shorter than the red tower. Short things don't reach as high.
Which flower is the tallest? The sunflower reaches the highest! The tulip is the shortest.
Wide is how big something is from side to side. The yellow door is wider than the green door. The green door is narrower: not as wide.
Try it with a grown-up! Stand back to back with someone. Who is taller? Then find a wide door and a narrow door at home.
