Riddles anyone?
 

Riddles are a great way to gain reading comprehension and understanding of english.

 
I have found a great website: http://www.corsinet.com/braincandy/riddle2.html they have heaps of riddles that are super simple:
 

My first is in chocolate but not in ham,
My second is in cake and also in jam,
My third at tea-time is easily found,
My whole is a friend who�s often around.

What am I?
