Well when I was little I didn’t know how to read so one day I saw a card with the word “across” on it and I wanted to read it so I took my time and sounded it out then the next day at school we were assigned books to read and they gave us cards with words to practice so I practiced a lot
The purpose is to create problem s in the story kinda the same as conflict. hope it helps
