I'm glad you enjoyed the post and hope you all got something out of it. (And I am enjoying discovering your blogs tambien!) Miriam, you have many books that I either have or covet. I really need to get on Lee & Low's mailing list somehow to learn about new titles being released. Unapologetic, thanks for the tip! I will definitely look into Pearson. Glenda, my home library was seriously Spanish "challenged" when I started the book club. Remember, you can try buying English text books with Spanish words embedded. You may find this a little easier for transitioning your kids.

The books actually come in sets of six because they are technically guided reading books for teachers, but a publisher rep can put together a set of one copy of each of the titles. The books are originally written in Spanish by a Mexican American author Dr. Flores from California, and all themes are based on the Latina/o culture. I highly recommend the books if you are looking for some formal language arts for home schooling. <abbr><em>Unapologetic Polyglot’s last blog post..<a href="http://multilingualmania.wordpress.com/2009/04/03/thank-goodness-for-alternative-discourse/" rel="nofollow">Thank Goodness for Alternative Discourse</a></em></abbr> A really excellent resource is the series “Piñata” and “Más Piñata” by the Publisher Pearson.
