A board game is a type of game that has many components in it, such as a square board, thick cardboard, cards, and even cloth. Board games have a variety of game stories, game themes, and varied playing techniques. For information, the earliest known Board Game is 5,000 years old and was played by the Egyptians. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, the board game industry started with the international board game exhibition, Essen Spiel 2018 in Germany.

There are two sheets to my reading, scanning and comprehension exercise. The exercise includes speaking, listening and comprehension.



1.	An article for the student to read.

2.	A question sheet for you to read to the student.



I suggest you copy and paste into two different documents.



I convert the article to pdf format, as the student’s device doesn’t need MS Word installed for it to display.



Send or give the article to the student to read aloud to you. 



Then ask the student questions from the question sheet, they’re in the same order as the article. Most of the answers are one or two words; just be aware that some students will read a whole paragraph knowing that the answer is somewhere in it. For me, that’s not good enough! 



Finally ask the student to read the article again and while you correct their pronunciation, as necessary.
