							| 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.  |  19 Jan 2009

							| 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.   |  19 Jan 2009

							| 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. |  19 Jan 2009
