This best-selling reader is designed to transition students from reading highly controlled elementary-level materials to appreciating authentic literature. Written primarily in the twentieth century by authors from Spain, Latin America, and the United States, the 31 short stories in ALBUM appear in order of increasing difficulty. Many features, including generous notes and glosses and a range of varied activities, aid comprehension, encourage oral and written self-expression, and promote cooperative learning, as well as critical thinking about the selections. Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.
When you open this page we ask eCampus, Amazon, Knetbooks, BiggerBooks, VitalSource and RedShelf for their current prices on ISBN 9781133941040 and sort every offer by its total with shipping. Rental rows show the term (semester, quarter or short term) and that term goes with you to the store's cart, and eBook rows link straight to the 180-day or no-expiry option you picked. Prices are rechecked at least every 30 minutes, so confirm the total at checkout.
