We have been given a free trial for this website Fiction Express). You can login and read books then complete comprehension style questions or quizzes.
You can select the level from the available books that is right for you. I suggest starting at level 1. These texts are more difficult that reading eggs/ express.
Read each chapter, answer the questions, then vote for the next chapter. If you get up to date with the book the voting is live. (It looks like books start on a Monday and then release a new chapter each day)
I cannot load everyone’s login details here for obvious reasons, but if you would like your details please email myself on the following:
