Hi all,
 
If anyone is online, I would appreciate suggestions 
on where I could find some free (!) comprehension activities for my year 2/3 
class. 
 
I am also Googling (however you spell it) and I 
suspect I may as well write one. I am hoping to find a site however with lots! 
Call me optomistic. 
 
Thanks,
 
Paul Floyd.
