Nuestra lenga, nuestra culturas (Our language, our cultures)

American Reading Company offers a unified, standards-based framework for student assessment, instruction, and for text leveling in Spanish.

  • Reflects the developmental sequence for reading acquisition in Spanish
  • Provides one standards-based framework that levels the books and the students
  • Assesses phonemic awareness, phonics skills, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension

Learn more about our leveling system

Our classroom collections, built from an extensive database of more than 8500 Spanish language titles from over 85 publishers, reflect the richness and diversity of the Spanish language and Spanish-speaking cultures. The best authentic books and the finest translations are organized into leveled collections based on the developmental sequence or reading acquisition in Spanish.

Instructional materials, professional development, incentive programs, and a Web-based data-tracking system (SchoolPace) 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.
