I enjoyed reading this book. I found it very helpful! The short stories start off at level A2 and seamlessly progress through level B1 and B2. I loved that each story was short and had reading comprehension questions and keyword definitions immediately after each story.
I encourage any Spanish language learners who fall between A2 and B2 to read this book. OR if you are more advanced, volume two (book 2) features level B2 through C2.

My search is over!
Finally a beginner book that has intriguing topics and is just right for A2 reading. Short quizzes and stories give a perfect method of practice.

May 27, 2024There should be an English translation after the Spanish one.
I somewhat understood what the story was about. Having an English translation of the story after the Spanish one l. It would help me to understand the words in the sentence that I didn't know. Understanding part of a sentence doesn't help to complete the whole thought or make any sense.
