Reading / was & were : elementary
 
Hi all!
I �ve been searching the site, but I can �t really find what I �m looking for : An elementary reading including BE in the past tense. (No gap-filling, no grammar exs.) I need a �basic � text, even without comprehension questions.
Any idea/ link ??
Thanks a lot in advance!
Sylvie

I don �t know if it could help you but why don �t you try biographies ? 
ex: His name was Charlie Chaplin. He was born in .... He was an actor. He was very funny. He was British etc...  It is rather simple for pupils to understand and it is quite easy to create !  I hope it helped you. Good luck !

Thx Marion,
Actually, I �ve already written biographies for my kids (..) & I �m being a bit lazy to write/find another topic :-S & I �m sure there are ws here with easy texts like the ones I �m looking for...
Thank you for your answer ;o))

Hi dear Sylvie. I just wrote was, were in the contents box and came up with several. Some of my worksheets are among those -  3 different texts at least with questions.
 
Have a nice day.
Hugs,

Take a look at this, for example, http://www.eslfast.com/easyread/es/easy006.htm
