Selena provides an ideal solution to teaching multi-level classes and differentiation! Read a simplified version from the front cover and a more advanced version from the back cover. Each version has a comprehensive glossary, which lists all forms of every word.

The low unique word count and high-frequency factor (the number of times core structures are embedded in the text) in the Comprehension-based™ reader, ‘Selena’, make this an ideal read for advanced beginning Spanish students. Each page is loaded with cognates (words that are similar in English and Spanish), recycled vocabulary, and illustrations, which makes this read highly comprehensible.
