Fourteen short reading cards about one big family, the Morales Vega family, built for Spanish 1 classes. Students meet Andrés and his relatives through the cards — Tarjeta 6 "Mi mamá" introduces Lucía Vega Torres, 43, a nurse with long brown hair and green eyes, and Tarjeta 3 "Mi abuelo" introduces Ernesto Morales, 72, who wears glasses and likes working in the garden and reading the newspaper — then use the Spanish family vocabulary to label a family tree, answer comprehension questions and do a gallery walk.
Every reading card has a Vocabulario section, and the set comes in two levels, with a no-footnote version of the cards. The vocabulary reference, La familia, covers el abuelo and la abuela, el padre and la madre, el hijo and la hija, el hermano and la hermana, el tío and la tía, el primo and la prima, el esposo and la esposa, el nieto and la nieta, plus Más palabras. The grammar reference, Gramática útil, covers possessive adjectives, age with tener, describing people with ser, and likes and dislikes with gustar.
The gallery walk works in Spanish and English: post the 14 cards around the room, and students move around and answer 14 "Búsqueda en las tarjetas" questions. The family tree page, El árbol genealógico, asks students to write each person's name and age in the tree. A quiz, Prueba: La familia, scored out of 20, closes the set.
The set is PDF, US Letter, black and white, and the listing states 42 pages, with answer keys included. The grade range is 6th through 9th grade: the listing's Highlights field says 6th–9th, and it is built for Spanish 1.
