This week’s Spotlight lesson is Yesterday, a story about 13-year-old Anders from Norway.
In this lesson, Anders introduces himself (using the simple present) and talks about what he did yesterday (using the simple past). The reading is followed by comprehension questions, a mixed-tense verb puzzle, exercises on feeling adjectives and prepositions of place, and a 20-questions discussion activity.
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!
