4 reading comprehensions exercises from “Les vacances du Petit Nicolas.” Perfect for teaching the topic of holidays.
The short stories reinforce all vocabulary seen (places, activities, opinions, suitcase items, use of different tenses). I have selected extracts and added a series of questions.
As this is an authentic text, I would aim these activities for a higher group (from year 9 to year 11).
Great to include a bit of French culture and literacy in your lessons.
