reading comprehensions / unseens
|

You guys make wonderful wss, unfortunately I can�t use too many of them because I work with textbooks and we aren�t allowed to do a lot of photocopying. I do download some and try to sneak them through. Kids love them.
What I really need is fictional and non-fictional reading comprehension / unseens with different types of questions.
Please don�t call a grammar or vocabulary fill-in/ cloze - a reading comp. It take hours to get through all the materials that are called readings because most of them are really grammar exercises. |

What age group?
Another question - does your text book have short stories for reading and last question - does your library or school have these wonderful oxford, or Longmann books for reading?
You can get all kinds of books and they�re not expensive.
I believe that to read literature from an English speaking country
gives a good impression of what the people are all about.

Our text books never have enough short reading comp. exercises. We have the longman series but we use them mostly for reading for enjoyment or book reports. There are a ton of unseen books here but they can be used for testing because: 1. we aren�t allowed to poto copy from them and 2. the private teachers here use them a lot so some of the kids are familiar with the texts. That is why the pieces I pick up here are so great.

I can provide links to some reading comprehension materials via your pm but it would help me to send you stuff if you provide your email as well. |
