A First Spanish Reader

by Erwin W. Roessler

About 2 h 38 min of reading140 chapters

A First Spanish Reader is a graded textbook prepared by Erwin W. Roessler and Alfred Remy of the High School of Commerce in New York for the American Book Company. Its sixty-three short selections begin with the schoolroom, the family, coins, months and seasons, written entirely in the present tense so that beginners can read from the first weeks of a course, then move on to anecdotes, proverbs, riddles, fables and brief accounts of Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Cuba. Comprehension questions follow each piece, and a complete Spanish-English vocabulary closes the book. Pen drawings by Clarence Rowe illustrate the text. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the opening pages are free.
