Score /100 Recommended use: This test can be given at the start of Year 10/Year11 as a baseline assessment. It can be used at the end of Year 9 to check knowledge.

4 reading comprehensions exercises from "Les vacances du Petit Nicolas." Perfect for teaching the topic of holidays. The short stories reinforce all vocabulary seen (places, activities, opinions, suitcase items, use of different tenses). I have selected extracts and added a series of questions.
