“Help! I need to teach reading comprehension to my ESL or ELL students soon but I don’t have the time to prepare a reading lesson!” Sound familiar? This free no-prep reading comprehension worksheet for B2 or C1 ESL, ELL or English learners is here to help!
Designed to give a free sample of my Reading Comprehension materials, these ESL passages and activities contain two full reading lessons guiding you and the students through the lesson. The topics are Veganism and How to Improve Your Memory. Contains:
✅ Pre-task Discussions – engage your students and activate their schema with interesting and unique discussion questions
✅ Links to Youtube clips for linked activities – test your students’ listening skills
✅ Skimming and Scanning Reading Activities – improve these key reading skills with these reading comprehension questions
✅ Full Lesson Plan – save time on planning with an easy-to-follow lesson plan
✅ Vocabulary Review – build your students’ vocabulary in this vocabulary review
✅ Comprehension Check – check full understanding and comprehension with these questions
✅ Discussion/debate – a post-reading discussion or debate activity to work on speaking skills
Grade / Proficiency level.
My reading materials are suitable for upper-intermediate or advanced ESL learners (B2/C1). They would also be suitable for grades 6-8, while I have also used them with students from lower sets in grades 9-11 too. They are designed for 40-60 minute lessons and incorporated pair and group work for a fun and engaging classroom environment!

Previous feedback I’ve received for my reading materials:
“Pretty sure I’ve never left feedback but true story – this resource is saving my life. I recently moved up to the high school level, in addition to taking on the role of program coordinator. Six weeks into the school year and the textbooks have still not been purchased and I’m in the depths of redesigning an ESL program. I’ve been out a lot for conferences and meetings, and not only is this resource easy for my paras to follow but it’s also great to build off of (or not!). Very low prep, full of engaging conversation topics, interesting articles, thorough comprehension questions and vocabulary tasks. You can follow the lesson plans to a T or create additional activities from the articles. I am able to use this for a 70-minute class, hitting all 4 domains, and sometimes we don’t even finish! Thank you!”
