My Reading.... ! ! !


1. Recall
Give a brief summary of the story.
The story is about a girl called Sally was a BMX rider for not that long and she is already enjoying it.

2. Infer
What kind of a person is Sally Davies? Tell why you think this.
Sally Davies is a competitive person. She is really competitive. She doesn’t care about who she is racing. But she does want more girls in club to make more competitive.

3. Evaluate
Explain why you think the author entitled the story as “Pumping Pedals”
I think the author entitled the story as “Pumping Pedals” because the story is about BMX biking.

4. Think about it
Why do you think Sally would like to attract more girls to the sport of BMX racing?
She wants more girls out there in the track because she wants more competition.

5. Recall
How are the bikes designed and what are they made of?
The top models are made of light-weight aluminium, titanium, or carbon fibre. They’re smaller than mountain bikes, with a very slow saddles, so you have to stand all the time while racing. They have small wheels with thick, chunky tyres. The bikes have only one gear, so a rider’s legs spin around really fast, and there’s only brake at the back.

6. Think about it.
Why did Sally groan as she remembered her first racing bike?
She groaned because it was a freestyle bike and so heavy, with huge tyres. Her new bike is much better.

7. Please explain the racing technique called “pumping” and why it might be important?
It might be because you have to use your legs to pump the pedals.


8. Do you think BMX racing is a dangerous sport. Tell why or why not you think this.
I think this sport can be dangerous because you can hurt yourself badly and can be in a comma.

9. Synthesize
Please tell what you liked most about the story and why or why not you would like to be a BMX racer.
I would like to be a BMX racer because it’s fun. I’ve always been a fan of bike riding. And I would like to try it out on an actual racing track.

10. Design a flyer to attract and introduce new riders to the sport. Be sure to tell when and where it meets and what equipment is required. When you are finished please upload to your blog.
