thanks Goodnesses. I�m looking for somethig more elementary.
The thing is that when I find books for my students� English level ( which is very basic), the events and characters are too childish.My students are 12 to 14, but their English level suits Primary. And when I find something I like, it doesn�t have comprehension activities online ( which is required for the project) .We could do them ourselves using hot potatoes and stuff but we haven�t much time for that now. Anyway, if you find something matching my needs, do tell me, please.
We�ve been working with raz.kids reading and AZ reading, but I would like to find something else.
Anyway, I found great reading sites. They have no comprehension exercises but they are wonderful .If anyone�s interested: starfall.com ; fablevision. com( with a beautiful tale called North Star ) ; learning planet.com ( you can have a trial suscription for 10 days, necessary to play an interactive reading game called Time Crime)) ; enlightenme.com ( with a fantastic reading game called Peetnik mysteries). I found all these in eduscapes.com which has very ineresting links ( have a look at tap teachers).
I�m so glad the forum is back!!!! thanks V�ctor!!!! |

If you want a SERIOUSLY good FREE online textbook in a fashion similar to this website but with 26 units (in the book I�m talking about, that�s not including other books/samples on the website as well) and 8 to 10 pages per unit, then you should have a peruse through-
http://www.finchpark.com/books/index.htm
(Click on the "tell me more" link. The title of the book is called, "Tell Me More"
�also check "Now you�re talking")
�It�s a pretty amazing resource. One of the best, I�ve spent countless hours sifting through websites, this one impressed me.
�OR http://www.btinternet.com/~ted.power/first.html �OR http://web2.uvcs.uvic.ca/elc/studyzone/330/reading/index.htm (for 6 great reading exercises)

Ok,
Why don�t you try to design your own online exercises (reading comprehension or any kind) by yourself.
Don�t you know Victor made it possible since a moment. Just look at the top of ESLprintables home page.
I give here some links to some of my ONLINE reading comprehension exercises just to give you an idea how it could look like. I am sure you can do better when you get accustomed to the designer.
Here are some of my contributions:

You can also design Listening comprehension exercises using video and/or audio sequences.
