A First Spanish Reader with Questions and Vocabulary

The Reader was published in 1916. It is an outgrowth of a desire for a textbook that combines simplicity with variety. To make it available for use almost at the very beginning of the Spanish course only the present tense has been employed in the first twenty-three selections and difficult constructions have been consistently avoided. With one or two exceptions, many changes have been made in order to adapt them to the needs of the beginner. The greater part of the reading material, however, is either original or adapted from other languages. The Questions are intended to aid the pupil in the preparation of lessons. Teachers may alter or amplify these questions as they see fit.
