Más Piñata: Dual Language Leveled Reading
Más Piñata is a series of leveled books for Emerging and Beginning Readers, available in both Spanish and English. Más Piñata offers rich, culturally-relevant stories that support meaningful literacy development in guided reading and biliteracy settings.
A Guarantee of Cultural Authenticity
Más Piñata was the first authentic early literacy program for Spanish-speaking students in the United States. It was created by Grupo Educaturas—native Spanish speakers and long-time educators Dr. Barbara Flores, Elena Castro, and Eddie Hernandez, along with illustrators Michael Ramirez and Mary Ramirez-Green. All Más Piñata titles were originally written in Spanish, so you can use them with confidence in your classroom.
Features of the Books:
- Authentic Stories
- High-frequency words
- Simple sentence patterns
- Familiar words and concepts
