Best Friends Furever (Love Puppies #1) questions by chapter

One question per chapter, across all 12 chapters, and every one is editable before you print. The example answers under 3 of the chapters are the ones printed at the front of the booklet.

Chapter 4
When you come to an unfamiliar word in this chapter, how can you figure out its meaning? Describe the steps you would try.
Example answer: I would reread the sentence and look for clues in the sentences around it. For example, if I saw the word "hesitated" before a character made a choice, I would guess it means the character paused because they were unsure. Then I would try that meaning in the sentence to see whether it makes sense. If I still wasn't sure, I would check a dictionary.

Chapter 5
If you could give one character advice after this chapter, what would you say? Explain how your advice could help.
Example answer: I would tell the character, "Before you decide, think about how your choice could affect someone else." I would also suggest asking a trusted person for help if the choice feels difficult. This advice could help the character slow down instead of acting without thinking. I think good advice should help someone make their own decision, not just tell them what to do.

Chapter 12
What connection can you make between this chapter and your own life, another book, or the world? Explain how that connection helps you understand the story.
Example answer: One connection I can use is remembering my first day in a new club. I felt nervous because I did not know anyone, even though I wanted to join in. Remembering that feeling helps me understand why a character might stay quiet or take time to feel comfortable. It reminds me to think about a character's feelings instead of judging only what they do.
