Product Description:
Titles in THE STORYTELLER'S SERIES look like paperbacks you would pick up in any bookstore for pleasure reading. The stunning and colorful covers convey the appeal of the stories inside.
The inclusion of a variety of photographs and art throughout the books increases the appeal and readability of the stories in THE STORYTELLER'S SERIES.
The preface by Stephen Krashen discusses current research into the benefits of pleasure reading in second language acquisition and offers suggestions on how to use THE STORYTELLER'S SERIES.
The stories are carefully but prudently glossed so there is a minimum of distraction for students.
A Spanish/English vocabulary section also appears in the back of each reader.
There are activities for students at the end of each book which focus on comprehension and content and which work students through the stories section by section.

Required reading for a college course. Probably would not have read it otherwise. Not the most interesting read.

I ordered the book on June 9th. The oder was to be delivered by June 30th. I sent e-mails to the seller twice and there is no response. I filed a complaint to amazon and I will hear something from them on July 26th. Meanwhile I have placed a new order with The AMAZON and hope to get the book next week.

For a Spanish language student who has taken 2 semesters, and is fluent in English, this is comfortable, somewhat entertaining material. After reading this book once for my Brandeis University class, during this summer I have read it 3 times more, because it is a nice way to review. It is very comprehensible material, and the glossary and notes make it is easy to look up unknown words if you need to. I am logged on right now to buy the next book in the series.

I had to read this for school. Its not very interesting unless you're a Spanish major.
