Complete K-5th Spanish Mentor Text List for Reading Comprehension

This download contains over 225 titles and is aligned to the literacy works ‘Strategies that Work: Teaching Comprehension for Understanding and Engagement’ as well as 'Reading with Meaning: Teaching Comprehension in the Lower Grades'.

One thing that has always frustrated me was that the book lists that accompany these staples for building true literacy in students are primarily in English. If you do find something in Spanish, it is usually a translation of an English work. For this reason, I spent a lot of time creating one uniquely for the bilingual, dual language, or Spanish Immersion classrooms.

While some of the titles are transadaptations, you will also find a number of authors included that write for a bilingual Latino audience. In addition, I do not repeat titles in this resource, so as to allow for multiple options across grade levels and classrooms.
