Overview
Under ordinary circumstances, the odds of being struck by lightning are greater than the odds of becoming a Major League Baseball player, but Felipe Alou’s circumstances in 1955 were anything but ordinary. As a Black athlete from the Dominican Republic who spoke no English, he faced many obstacles to success. Read Felipe’s amazing true story of how he beat overwhelming odds to become one of baseball’s greatest players and managers.
This Comprehension-based reader, Felipe Alou: la historia de un campeón, strategically weaves high-level language structures into a compelling story based on high-frequency vocabulary. Even upper-level language students need repeated exposure to language structures in order to acquire them, and Wayside's intermediate-level readers maintain a high-frequency factor of core language structures, thus helping learners progress beyond typical proficiency levels.
