This readinf has picture supports for students who are less confident with Spanish. A true reading you can feel good about giving your class.

This went better than I imagined. I used it before watching the movie Canela. We did this as a jigsaw. Note, you have to come up with your own comprehension questions because they are not included. I love that there are different reading proficiency versions included. Much thanks!
