Reading a map is easy once you understand that when you are looking at a map, it is like you are above the area, looking down on it from a birds eye view. Maps show us how to get from once place to another, and how close or far once place is in relation to another. For example, if you are looking at a map of the area around your school, you would see your school building, and the roads that surround it. What else might be on a map of the area around your school?
