Analogy: Teaching Students to Read is Like...

Teaching someone how to drive, before they get on the road


Similarities: (between preparing to read and teaching someone how to drive)
Both involve steps and instructions, use prior knowledge to complete both types of tasks
Practicing and studying how to drive just like you will what you are about to read about, when you practice reading frequently you will be ready to read, when you practice driving often you will become a better driver and know the rules of the road well, impossible to drive a car without prior knowledge, need to know car parts, how they work, etc.
