Does hard work and determination really pay off? It seems that way for Billy, a character in Where The Red Fern Grows. After working for two years, he finally has enough money to buy the pups he's always wanted. Scholars read about the adventures of Billy and his hounds and demonstrate understanding by completing 10 sentences with new vocabulary words, answering comprehension questions, and dividing words into syllables.
