Grade 1 Reading Comprehension - Benny the Brave Dog
Story: Benny the Brave Dog
Benny was a small brown dog with big floppy ears. He lived with his family in a cozy house near the park.
Benny loved to play fetch, eat treats, and take long naps in the sun.
Every morning, Benny would wake up early. He would wag his tail and run to the window. He liked to watch
the birds fly and the squirrels play in the trees. After breakfast, Benny would go for a walk with Emma, the
little girl who loved him very much.
One day, something special happened. Benny and Emma were walking in the park when they heard a
'meow.' It was coming from behind a bush. Benny ran over and saw a tiny kitten stuck in the branches. The
kitten was scared and crying.
Emma said, 'Oh no! We need to help her.' Benny barked and wagged his tail. He gently helped the kitten get
out of the bush. The kitten looked at Benny and gave a little purr. Emma smiled and picked up the kitten.
They brought the kitten home and gave her a bowl of milk. Benny watched her carefully, making sure she
was safe. Emma named the kitten Lily.
Now Benny and Lily became best friends. They played together, napped together, and even shared toys.
Benny was very happy. He felt proud that he helped someone in need.
From that day on, Benny wasn't just a playful dog-he was a brave helper too!
