books as effective tools for
fostering second-language
and literacy development
for a variety of learners
(e.g., emergent readers,
fluent readers), in a variety
of settings (e.g., shared
reading, silent reading), and
with a variety of interactive
formats (e.g., parents or
older peers as story readers
or tellers).”

¡Juguemos al fútbol y al football!
Let’s Play Fútbol and Football
Rene Colato Lainez
Grades K–3
Carlos is not sure that “football” can be
played with an oval-shaped ball. Chris
is not sure that it can be played with a
round ball. It may not be a good idea
to play with a kid who is so different…
He doesn’t even know how to play this
game! Wait. It looks
kind of fun… Let’s
give it a try!
