Picture It: Ways Dogs Talk

Read this passage to learn to read the body language of dogs! Students will read about how dogs move and act depending on their mood. They’ll be asked to describe two actions from the passage, then answer three questions about what they can assume from a dog’s body language and what might cause a dog to act a certain way.

This worksheet was designed for second- and third-grade students working on their nonfiction reading comprehension skills. Students can practice visualizing scenes and actions in their reading while also learning about dog body language, which can help them stay safe interacting with dogs!
