Learning through Reading

Mira's Experience

When texts are too hard, students can develop a fear of reading. Mira writes accessible and engaging texts for very beginning Spanish language learners that also deepen their knowledge of the world.

Working with schools since 1999

Hundreds of thousands of students learning Spanish have read Mira's books. We work exclusively with school districts and teachers to provide curricular and supplementary resources.
