Literacy: Katy's Dog comprehension

 We looked very carefully at our answers to the comprehension questions about Katy's Dog.  Questions 5 and 6 were quite hard because we had to read carefully and think.  When Katy called Dylan after she had returned from the park, he did not bark an answer to her and he did not come to her.  That tells us that he would usually have done both those things, or the writer would not have bothered to tell us that he did not do them.  Katy's father said that Dylan was bright (clever) and would find his way home, which Dylan did.

Getting full marks for question 7 was not easy.  Dylan was battered because he had fought with two other dogs (that's the easy mark) but he was muddy because he had been out all night.  If we read carefully, we see that it was the next morning when he came home.  Always look for evidence in the text before answering.  Well done for having a good try.
