This is the first in a series of four reading books written in Spanish and designed for use in elementary bilingual education programs. The stories are divided into two main sections, Estudios Sociales (Social Studies) and La Naturaleza (Nature). The five stories in the first section deal with such topics as the home, school, and cleaning. The five stories in the second section deal mainly with the seasons and aspects of the weather such as snow, wind, and rain. Each story is followed by a list of new words and is illustrated with black-and-white and color drawings. (CLK)
