Our extensive collections of more than 4,000 Spanish language titles from over 85 publishers reflect the richness and diversity of the Spanish language and Spanish-speaking cultures.
Books are organized into leveled collections based on the developmental sequence for reading acquisition in Spanish. Our standards-based framework allows teachers to level both students and books, and to assess student progress with clearly defined benchmarks for reading performance.
Instructional materials, professional development, incentive programs, and a Web-based data-tracking system (KidPace® 3) all serve to build teacher, parent, and administrator capacity and to provide accountability systems for all involved in achieving the goal: every student reading on or above grade level.
