Have you ever been reading a story and thought, “Hey! That reminds me of something that happened to me!” If you have, then you made a personal connection to the story. We do this all the time as we are reading, and most of the time we don’t even realize it. Making connections as we read helps us feel like we are a part of what we are reading.
Today, we are going to read about Evan and his dog, Barkley, in “Finding Agent Barkley." As you read, see if you can make a personal connection to the story. Is there something you can relate to?
Let’s get started! Read “Finding Agent Barkley” below. You will see our vocabulary words highlighted in yellow. You can read the story yourself, or you can follow along with the audio.
