The Year of the Dog
Reading Comprehension Questions
by Grace Lin
14 curated questions
The story follows Pacy Lin, a Taiwanese-American girl, as she turns ten during the Chinese Year of the Dog, a year her mother says is special for finding her 'true self' and destiny. Pacy navigates challenges like making new friends, dealing with a bully, trying out for a school play, and discovering her talent for writing and drawing. Through learning about her family's immigration story and heritage, Pacy realizes that self-discovery is a journey of trying new things and growing, rather than one big event.
