/ September 16, 2020English is my second language.
It is with great pleasure that I found your web site. Over the summer 2020, I printed almost all your reading comprehension materials for my grade 7 and 9 kids to read. I myself read each of them too and answered each of the questions. Your web sites rekindled my interest in reading as an adult.
I am bit selfish to hope there are more reading comprehension materials for my kids and myself.
Thank you for your great work! The world becomes more beautiful because of your altruistic contribution.

/ September 16, 2020Thank you for taking the time to comment. I am always trying to create more content as well as improve the existing content. Best wishes, friend!

/ July 31, 2018Hello Mr Morton,
WOW!! these worksheets, games and activities are simply outstanding!! I am a teacher from Pakistan and these worksheets have helped me immensely in my learning as well as in the school when I share them with my students!! Thank you SOOOO much!
I came across figurative language activities which was just the thing I was looking for but I would really appreciate if you could put up activities related to other grammar content; for example, characterization, inferential, fact and opinion, and all other content which we can integrate in our classroom activities.
Forever grateful,
Zainab
Mr. Morton
/ August 1, 2018That’s awesome. I actually have all of that content posted already. I’ve got to figure out some way to make the content more visible. Thanks for visiting!

/ October 20, 2016I’ve read three of the passages you have here.
The first one was about metal detectors, was amusing, I like it and it’s good to know some of this facts.
The second one was a persuasive text about seat belts, how them keep us safe and the author keeps telling us to use them.
And the third one, my favourite, was about the pony express and how they carry the mail and how hard was and the complications, it’s interesting because they had a problem and they sorted it out in a clever way.
I like your website, thank you very much.
Mr. Morton
