Bob’s Trip to Arizona (part 1) – reading comprehension with a PDF worksheet (A1)

My new creation is a new episode of Bob’s story. You were introduced to Bob in my last article where you can find the first part of his story. It is about Bob’s problems with his computer and the way he started reading books passionately. This time Bob explores Arizona where he meets a Native American boy. The grammar of the text is simple (Present Simple and Present Continuous only). The focus is on comparative and superlative adjectives, some vocabulary on geographical features and, last but not least, reading comprehension.

Let your students enjoy reading in English 🙂
