This Sunday is Father’s Day in many countries. In honor of all the great dads out there, our Spotlight lesson this week is Tom’s Father.
This lesson focuses on a reading about three friends and their fathers. Follow-up tasks include comprehension questions and review exercises on regular past verbs in positive statements, negative statements, and questions. There is also a chart and exercise on the pronunciation of simple past tense endings.
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!
