Guide dogs help blind people get from place to place and lead independent lives. With a guide dog, blind people can go to the grocery store, ride the bus, or take a trip on a plane. Guide dogs are allowed in places where most other dogs are not. Not just any dog can be a guide dog. A guide dog needs many months of training at a special school. At school they learn to behave quietly, especially in public. Guide dogs have to focus on helping their owners. They are taught to ignore other things, such as interesting smells and other animals.

Key Understandings Prompts Score Within the Text Guide dogs need special training. They are trained to help blind people lead independent lives. They help blind people go to the grocery store, ride a bus, and fly on a plane. You should not pet or talk to a guide dog when it is working. When they are not working, guide dogs get to play. Note any additional understandings: Tell the important information in the book. Is there anything else? Beyond the Text Guide dogs have to be able to concentrate and pay attention. They have to be patient and not get distracted by what dogs like to do (like smelling and chasing things). The dogs and owners love each other. The dogs allow the owners to go places they could not go on their own, and the dogs like to help their owners. Guide dogs help blind people go places and lead independent lives.

Sample response: The writer asks a question about the reader s own life to get the reader interested in the beginning.
