Tezcatlipoca
Level 3 and up / Intermediate Low — Intermediate High
Overview
There are mysterious deaths in the area surrounding Morelos, Mexico, and Detective Rodriguez is determined to discover the cause and the cure. Are the deaths due to a virus, a crime, or something much more complex? Will he be able to solve the cases before another death occurs? It’s a race against time, since the next death may be his very own.
The exceptionally low unique word count and high-frequency factor (the number of times core structures are embedded in the text) in the Comprehension-based™ reader, ‘Tezcatlipoca’, 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.
