Estación de bomberos (Fire Station)
From the Set Spot Around Town (Recorrido por la ciudad)
When there's a fire, the firefighters come rushing in their fire trucks, but where do they go when they're done? The fire station of course! Developing Spanish readers learn about the fire station in this low-level search-and-find beginning reader. Early readers will discover dorms, firefighter lockers, and more while learning about fire stations.
A search-and-find book about fire stations reinforces new Spanish vocabulary to build reading success while close-up images of places and buildings captivate young audiences. A great early social studies book to inspire learning about communities on field trips for kindergartners and first graders. Translated into North American Spanish.
SLJ Review of Spot Around Town (Recorrido por la ciudad)
Gr 1–3—This series describes activites like riding a bus, flying on a plane, or visiting a zoo. Though the stock photos will not represent readers’ exact community space, reading about the experience before encountering it can reduce some anxiety. In Museum, readers see the ticket desk in the lobby, interactive touchscreens, and a gift shop. Post Office shows how the mail is picked up by mail carrier and sorted for delivery. Each book begins and ends with words and pictures for readers to look for while moving through the book, allowing them to familiarize themselves with words and compound phrases that may be less common to them. Overall, these titles would be useful in most libraries for emerging readers and for neurodivergent readers interested in learning about new experiences. VERDICT Recommended for purchase.
