Description
Erwin W. Roessler and Alfred Remy, teachers at New York's High School of Commerce, wrote this Spanish reader for pupils near the start of their course. The first twenty-three pieces use only the present tense, and hard sentence forms are kept out on purpose. Each piece ends with questions to help a pupil prepare the lesson, and a vocabulary backs the whole book.
Early readings cover school, family, the house, coins, months, seasons, and the human body, in short and simple Spanish. Later pieces move on to Mexico, Brazil, the theatre, and short tales adapted from Spanish writers and other sources. The aim is steady practice, not grammar drills: a beginner reads real Spanish from the first lesson and builds up word by word.
