Some students think that if something doesn’t work the first time, it means they’re not good at it.
They get discouraged quickly, especially when learning feels difficult.
That’s why stories like Walt Disney’s are important.
He didn’t succeed right away. In fact, his first animation business failed.
But he kept going, and that’s what made the difference.
This reading comprehension worksheet helps students understand that journey, while building key reading and thinking skills.
