Reading materials build competency for reading in Spanish.
Each reading is linked to a
comprehension strategy.
The readings work with
different types of texts.
Reading
The reading materials present an opportunity to practice the given vocabulary and grammatical
structures, while improving students’ ability to interpret new vocabulary and grammatical structures
from specific contexts.
The use of numerous cognates makes the context more understandable and helps students
to increase their vocabulary.
The readings present an outstanding
aspect of the culture of a country and
relate it to a type of text. The diverse
selection of texts strengthens reading
comprehension while suggesting models
for language production.
Each unit focuses on a specific reading strategy:
identifying cognates, identifying key concepts,
visualizing images from the text, formulating
assumptions and questions, and so on.
Applying these strategies, students develop
their ability to read and understand Spanish
texts.
