Sample of Student Book Covers

Fiction	Nonfiction

Each book was written by a native Spanish speaker, at reading levels from A through N, using the guiding principles of the Fountas and Pinnell Text Level Gradient™. The 14 fiction and 14 nonfiction books were created with careful attention to sentence complexity and vocabulary natural to the Spanish language and to culturally relevant topics and themes. Likewise, the books were illustrated by artists who represent and reflect the richness of Hispanic culture.
Highlights include:

• Authentic characters and settings that reflect Hispanic cultures.
• Simple words and sentence patterns that match Spanish oral language at the early levels
• Smooth, automatic text in Spanish that provides opportunities for word solving and that progressively becomes more complex at higher levels
• Sentence structures that are natural to Spanish, so bilingual students can demonstrate appropriate rate, phrasing, intonation, and word stress

The leveled books contained in SEL have been field-tested with Spanish-speaking students and their teachers in bilingual and dual-language classrooms throughout the U.S.
