Luis y SofÌa Spanish Stories for Primary School Pupils, Level 1 : 7 Specially Written Short Stories for Beginning Learners

Children will love reading these humorous Spanish stories, specially written to motivate beginning learners. Written in simple everyday language, these stories are a perfect way of introducing children to Spanish.

These stories have been tried and tested in a range of primary classrooms. Children will love the colour illustrations of Luis and Sofía and their friends and family and be keen to find out what happens to them next. Like most brothers and sisters, Luis and Sofía occasionally bicker.

The language structures and vocabulary in the stories have been carefully chosen so you can be sure that they are appropriate for use with beginning learners. Pupils will be able to use the language they learn in real life conversations. In the Level 1 stories, children are introduced to punctuation in Spanish, different forms of ‘¿cuánto?’ and ‘mucho’, ‘tener’ in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd singular present tense and colours as adjectives.

To help non-specialist teachers, model good pronunciation and provide valuable practice in listening skills, the book comes with free audio downloads and English translations of the stories.

The stories link to topics often taught in primary schools such as common greetings, asking and saying one’s name and age, family members, numbers to 20 and colours, so it is easy to integrate them with all primary Spanish schemes.
