When we talk about ‘raise’, think about how a balloon floats up into the sky. It starts on the ground, and as you fill it with air, it rises higher and higher. Just like the balloon, when someone gets a ‘raise’, it means they are getting more money for their work, like their money is going up.

Another way to think about ‘raise’ is like a plant growing taller. When you water a little plant, it stretches towards the sun, getting bigger and stronger. In the same way, when someone’s work is appreciated, they might get a raise, which means their salary grows taller, just like the plant.

Imagine a ladder. Each step you climb, you go higher. A ‘raise’ is like stepping up on a ladder at work. You are moving up, getting to a higher place, and that’s what happens with your salary when you get a raise.

Lastly, consider a flag being pulled up a flagpole. As you pull the rope, the flag rises higher and higher. A raise is like that flag going up, showing that someone is doing a great job and getting more money for it.
