Each of the anthologies in this series offers a variety of plays well-suited for either reading aloud or for full-scale performance. For the early grades, Alma Flor Ada and F. Isabel Campoy have created original adaptations of traditional children’s stories. Familiar tales are retold in the form of plays, choral poems, and theatre games, inviting children to explore movement, characterization, and imaginative play. The use of traditional Hispanic folklore, woven into the dialogue, enhances the cultural setting in which the stories have been recast. For the older grades, a selection of the best plays written for children throughout the Spanish-speaking world has been carefully assembled.

The use of plays in the classroom can be an excellent tool for promoting language and vocabulary development. In addition, plays can foster reading ability when used for choral reading; enhance children’s self-confidence and self-esteem; provide opportunities for learning about one’s self and others; and most importantly, promote the values of collaboration and solidarity. We think you’ll find these collections both inviting and inspiring.
