Testing Reading can be fun with poems [Madrasati @ Abdessalami On_Line]

Reading tests can be fun with simple poems.

I think mice are rather nice.

Their tails are ; their faces ,
They haven't any chins at all.

Their ears are ; their teeth are ,
They run about the house at night.

They nibble things; they shouldn't touch
And no one seems to like them .

But I think mice Are nice.
