My 5-year-old granddaughter is already a fluent reader in English, so we wanted to expose her to bilingual books as well. Of course, her Spanish vocabulary is weaker, so she needed a lot of repetitive words in a story. These Non-Fiction Bilingual Books are just what she needed! The stories are simple, with Science, Social Studies & Math themes, lots of repetitive vocabulary (self-explanatory due to English words on top of pages), and black-&-white pictures (allowing for copies if used in a school situation). She loves to color the pictures; it makes her feel as if she is making her own book. I highly recommend them for use by a teacher of a bilingual or ESL class, or by a parent who us looking to help his/her child become a more proficient bilingual reader. My granddaughter mastered the first book in one day and couldn't wait to show off her new skills to her family!
I'm using some of these mini-books to teach beginning Spanish to second and third graders. I have had to alter some of the words before reproducing the pages, because the translations don't seem to reflect the Spanish of Mexico.
I have purchased these Scholastic books for years, although this is the first time I have gotten the Spanish version. They are great. This may not be a beginner set, but are a great second set. I like that it came in English and Spanish. I am currently using them with my son, to promote reading in Spanish. I like that he reads them in English first and then again is Spanish. They are super easy to copy and can be reused if needed.
Great to use in Spanish class. Kids love putting the books toghether and reading their own stories.
Our school used the stories in a literacy program after school. This book is excellent for the classroom and the students enjoyed reading with their parents and coloring the illustrations.
Great stories and easy to implement in the classroom or around the dining room homeschool table.
