Real World Reading

ComprehensionGenreNonfiction Articles give

main idea.

They come out of the woods when darkness falls. They

are hungry, and they are not picky eaters. Black bears are content munching on birdseed, chicken bones, or other food scraps. “It’s been going on for about three years,” says Gregg Baker, 49. He lives in Margaretville, New York, at the edge of a forest. One night he woke to the sound of banging. “I went running downstairs,” says Baker. “There was a bear on the picnic table attempting to get in the kitchen window.”
