We are very pleased to present you Evelyn D. Irving'snew book, a Spanish Reader for Beginners including 10 short stories in Spanish about Valeria and Luciano. It includes vocabulary and questions about the texts. The book is available as apaperback and an ebook starting this week:
This book is suitable for children but it can be a
great tool for anyone willing to learn Spanish, adults included. Children will definitely enjoy
it, as it features a Spanish girl, Valeria, who has an invisible elf friend
called Luciano, who has to search for a lost cat in the city of New York. You
will find many daily-life situations in its pages which will help you learn
useful vocabulary you will need if you visit Spanish-speaking countries.
Evelyn, the author, discussed the possible characters and plots with her own daughter in order to find out what kind of book would be
interesting enough for schoolchildren learning Spanish. She wanted to tailor
this reader so that it would be a pleasant read for all ages, but especially
for kids who don't like the typical language book situations, which can end up
being too boring and repetitive and are mostly aimed at an adult public.
The stories were designed with a beginner's knowledge
of vocabulary and grammar in mind, in a way that makes them easy enough for
someone who is starting out, without being too easy. Even intermediate readers
will be able to make use of this Valeria y Luciano little adventure. There is a
vocabulary list and useful expressions in each chapter.
If you are intrigued, don’t hesitate to look at thebook page on Amazon, where you will be able to use to “look inside” feature in
order to discover more about this useful little book. You can even download a
sample to your kindle if you own one.
If your little ones loved Evelyn D. Irving’s BilingualCheerful Unicorn Coloring Book, they will definitely enjoy Valeria and Luciano’s
adventures this time. And even if you are not in school anymore but you want to
refresh your knowledge of Spanish this is going to be an interesting read for
you. The publisher has made an effort in order to get both editions, ebook and paperback, to be as economically priced as possible.
