My First Ride Answer Key

Students read a short story about a girl learning to ride her bike for the first time and answer reflective comprehension questions. The activity asks students to make text-to-self connections, comparing their own experiences with the character’s feelings of fear and perseverance. This helps students build empathy, emotional awareness, and comprehension of character motivation. Writing in complete sentences strengthens literacy skills and encourages personal reflection through narrative understanding.
