Spanish Reading Resources for K-6 from MacMillan/McGraw-Hill

Tesoros de lectura is a Spanish reading program from MacMillan/McGraw-Hill. It is the counterpart to the English program, Treasures. As a part of the program, the publisher makes available a variety of support materials for teachers and families. Specifically, there is a weekly letter with activities to send home.

Access to these resources is now restricted. I will update the link if they become available to the public.

Although the activities are intended for classes using the Tesoros de lectura program, they provide excellent examples and are a wonderful resource for teachers and parents working with children learning Spanish. If you want to use any specific resource, be sure to read the terms of use on the MacMillan/McGraw-Hill website.
