Eight original Spanish science readers written for the Grade 1 ADI Science Texas units. Each book is built on one investigation and one TEKS content standard, so the read-aloud at the Reflect stage matches the science your students just did, in the language they are learning it in.

Six copies of each of the eight titles, 48 books. Standard guided-reading quantity, so a title can rotate through a six-student group with a copy for the teacher.

What makes these different

• Written in Spanish, not translated. Original Mexican Spanish text at a grade 1 reading level, large type, one idea per page.
• Texas phenomena. A snowman melting in the Texas sun, toy cars colliding, a Texas live oak through four seasons, a brown river meeting the blue Gulf, bluebonnets in the rain, a school garden with the Texas flag flying.
• TEKS aligned. Every title carries its Grade 1 science TEKS on the back cover, in Spanish and English.
• Replaces the English trade books read aloud during the Reflect stage of the Grade 1 investigations, so bilingual and dual-language classrooms have a matching Spanish text for every unit.
