eReaders WL

Leveled eReaders are available for each program to assist teachers in incorporating more reading into their world language classroom. The eReaders are all chapter books that encompass a range of topics: cultural and historical subjects, original stories and mysteries, common fables and fairy tales, and excerpts and adaptations of classics. The type and number of readers vary by program.
