English print conventions are about how the text is arranged on the page. The basic pattern is reading left to right across each line and moving down to the next line, from the top of the page to the bottom. This flow helps you follow sentences and paragraphs in the intended order. While turning pages or holding a book correctly are important for handling a book, and knowing where to begin on a page is useful, they aren’t the fundamental way the text itself is designed to be read.
