Lecturas diarias | Week 14

Lecturas diarias para estudiantes de español is a series of readings intended for beginning language students. Each set provides one week (five days) of readings. One reading is provided for each weekday:

• Lunes de leyenda: A legend from a Spanish speaking country
• Martes de maravillas: A natural wonder from a Spanish speaking country
• Miércoles de música: A latin song, genre, or artist
• Jueves de joyas: a non-fiction text about something interesting from the Spanish speaking world
• Viernes de viajes: A destination (place or event) in a Spanish speaking country

SEMANA 12:

• Lunes de leyenda: La leyenda de la Cuyancúa
• Martes de maravillas: Parque Nacional de Doñana
• Miércoles de música: Somos el mundo de varios artistas
• Jueves de joyas: El cóndor andino
• Viernes de viajes: Guanajuato, México

The original intent of this set of resources was to create a resource that teachers could provide to their students as optional summer enrichment for interested students (so that they could read one page per day throughout their summer vacations), and they would make a great addition to a classroom library. If you have a Free Voluntary Reading program set up in your class, the readings are perfect for students to self-select at the designated time.

The most motivating kind of reading for is no-strings-attached reading, and for that reason we recommend that teachers allow students to read these texts without completing any follow-up reading activities. However, because we know that there are many instances in which teachers might need or prefer to assign a post-reading task (substitute activities, absent work, etc.), we have provided a one-page post-reading Smash Doodle® template for each text that students could use to summarize the information from each text or story.
