Hi, When I try to use the PowerPoint as a slide show, the pictures completely disappear and only the words can be seen. Any ideas?
Many thanks.

Hi Lisa,
For this particular resource, the text for the reading comprehension can be found in the PowerPoint. The Word and PDF documents contain the questions and answers. I hope this helps to clarify how to use this resource. The PowerPoint and Word document are available to subscribers. As a free member, you will find lots more comprehension resources, which include the text within the pdf, here:

I don't find it useful because the reading part is not showing only the question part. therefore children cannot answer the questions because there's nothing to read to answer them
