True Connections

Students read two nonfiction excerpts describing supportive friendships and then answer comprehension and critical-thinking questions about the passages. Each excerpt highlights qualities such as kindness, listening, inclusion, and emotional support. The questions prompt learners to analyze characters’ actions, compare the texts, identify important friendship traits, and reflect on how they can apply these lessons in their own lives. This worksheet strengthens reading comprehension while promoting empathy and emotional insight. Students practice interpreting complex ideas, identifying themes, and supporting answers with text evidence. The activity encourages thoughtful discussion about what makes friendships meaningful and supportive.
