Viajando atraves do alfabeto: A Reading and Writing Program for Interm. Portuguese (Portuguese Edition)
Making use of  Dicionario do viajante insolito by Brazilian writer Moacyr Scliar as a point of departure, Viajando aims to help students develop reading comprehension and oral and written comprehension of Portuguese, filling a much needed void as a reader or complementary intermediate text. The book is divided into 26 units (one for each letter of the alphabet) each presents a story or cronica  and  1) pre-reading exercises to encourage students to converse 2) post-reading activities to be done individually or in groups 3) grammar and vocabulary review. Students are also encouraged to write about their own travel experiences, and to reflect on Brazilian culture, as well as American.
