stories for thinking students

spanish

Series of graded readers specially designed for young people who want to think for

themselves - in Spanish!

Four levels of difficulty, corresponding to the first, second, third and fourth years of

the E.S.O. syllabus and employing a basic vocabulary of 600, 1000, 1500 and 2000

words.

Original stories with a small number of main characters and strong narratives

guaranteed to keep readers hooked from beginning to end.

Each story dramatises social and moral themes to encourage pupils to really “think in

Spanish” and to inspire classroom discussion. Themes range from bullying at school

and teenage drug abuse to international terrorism and the war in Iraq.

Each volume contains a full range of grammar, vocabulary and comprehension

exercises as well as an extensive glossary of difficult words.

The series as a whole follows established guidelines on the

non-sexist use of language.
