Prefix Quiz

Welcome to Mice In The Classroom! This blog offers examples of curriculum for students K-12 who use English as a second language (ESL) and English as a first language (EFL). Lessons are primarily prepared for Intermediate Level learners and are used as part of one-on-one tutoring and small group sessions. The quiz below is only one example of reading exercises and comprehension questions for both ESL/EFL students. If you would like to schedule tutoring sessions or if you have lesson plan ideas to share, please contact me by leaving your email address and a brief message in the "comments" area at the bottom of this posting. Learning is a wonderful experience and with the internet, the process is only a "mice" click away.
