I have always struggled with reading Spanish. Although I have some conversational fluency (enough to communicate basic needs like food and restroom), I wouldn't consider myself fluent. This book is simple and efficient in improving Spanish reading fluency. The chapters are divided into Spanish and English. Each chapter is the story of someone telling you about their typical day. After you read the Spanish chapter, you are given the chapter again in English. I found myself reading the Spanish, trying to figure out what was being said, and then using the English section to confirm my assumptions. There's also a really nice companion to the book that allows you to hear native Spanish speakers to improve verbal fluency, as well. Overall, this was a well-laid out book that was easy to follow and certainly worth my time and energy.
