What is lead in reading?

Lead (also known as an introduction) is the beginning portion of a written work, such as an article, essay, or book. The purpose of a lead is to introduce the topic of the written work and to provide some background information. A good lead should be attention-grabbing and make the reader want to continue reading.

There are many different ways to write a lead. Some common techniques include:

- Asking a question

- Using a startling statement

- Quoting someone

- Telling a story

- Giving a brief history

- Describing a scene

No matter which technique you choose, make sure your lead is relevant to the topic of your written work and that it is well-written and engaging.
