Required Spanish Reading

Dear Parents:

This week your child will start reading their first Spanish novel. Here are the novels each grade will be reading.

6th Grade – Berto y Sus Buenas Ideas by Blaine Ray
7th Grade – Pobre Ana by Blaine Ray
8th Grade – Pio Pista Level I by Michael Miller

I am in the process of securing a class-set of each novel. In the meantime students will begin by reading excerpts from the book.

Your child may check-out the required reading Spanish book from the St. Paul School library, however I recommend purchasing a book so your child may have their own book in order to make notes in the margins, highlight and underline important parts of the story.

Below, I have enclosed links to several websites where books can be purchased. They range in price from $6.00 – $9.00.  Pio Pista is also available for download on Itunes.

The required reading will support the Reading portion of their Spanish grade which counts 20% of their overall grade.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Thank you,
Ms. Brehm
