Being a teacher that works with kids who learn English as a foreign language, I understood long ago that my students struggle to use the verb “have” with the third-person nouns and pronouns correctly. Since being able to use the verb “have” is extremely important for language fluency, it is one of the first words to be introduced to kids. So children have to use the verb “have” from the very outset of studying English. All too often non-native English speakers learn how to conjugate the verb “have” in elementary school or even kindergarten. Therefore I have designed a small collection of printable reading fluency and comprehension sentence strip pages to encourage kids to learn how to use the verb “have” with different nouns and pronouns.
My elementary school reading comprehension sentences include some vocabulary related to pets, farm animals and toys. So my strip pages can be used to help early readers and special education children learn and memorize some useful English words along with basic grammar rules. I have designed these reading comprehension worksheets in such a way that they would look vibrant and appealing to small kids. I’m sure that cute pictures and bright colors of this resource will make even the struggling readers enjoy their reading fluency practice. My fellow ESL and EFL teachers are welcome to download the hi-res PDF file with all the sentence strips to use them for their English classes too.
