Has your hometown changed in the past 50 years? In this week’s Spotlight lesson, Sasquatch Hills: Simple Past Reading, students practice using the simple past tense, the simple present tense, and prepositions of place.
This lesson includes two short dialogues with audio, comprehension questions, and writing and speaking activities to review the simple present and simple past. This lesson also introduces prepositions of place such as in, on, next to, between, etc.
All of the readings in our Library section have a digital component, so teachers and parents can choose how to present the reading and comprehension questions—either on paper or online!
