When downloaded these resources include printable versions of the reading comprehensions and PDFs with a link that allow you to copy the Google Forms documents and save them in your Google Drive.
The activities can be completed by students online using tablets, phones or computers, and are easily assessed by teachers as all the answers are provided in a quick and easy format.
This bundle contains the following reading comprehension activities:

This is because the aim is to get students writing answers and not to just have multiple choice options.
