The Third Big Book of Tiny Daily Readings in Spanish: Culture, Fiction & History to Develop Fluent Reading Ability (The Big Books of Tiny Readings) (Spanish Edition)

My classes needed short, daily readings with activities embedded into the texts. These texts take no more than 10 minutes to read, are varied between history, culture and short fiction, and have margin notes for all vocabulary so that they can be read by anyone... even the student who has been checked out all semester! Every text has accountability. The texts are written as cloze passages with a word bank. My students report that they enjoy the puzzle-like challenge of fitting the right word in the right place, and I like that this format encourages them to pay close attention to the meaning of the paragraph. Other activities encourage truly active reading. The culture and history texts are drawn from many Spanish-speaking countries.This third book focuses on intermediate level texts. In my classes we read a text every day, finishing one book per semester. By the end of the second book, my students are reading intermediate-level texts with confidence and fluency. This third book is written to support their engagement with my class library of intermediate language learner texts. This is an excellent addition for fans of the Two Conversations Classroom who are looking for a brief second conversation and to promote literacy every single day. Read more
