How to Use This Book

This book is designed for shared family reading.

Each chapter should take around 15-20 minutes to read aloud, depending on how often you stop. You can read the whole chapter in one session, or divide it into two shorter parts.

A simple routine:

1. Read the helpful words before the chapter.
2. Read the story aloud.
3. Let different people play different characters.
4. Do not stop for every unknown word.
5. At the end, answer the easy questions together.
6. Choose one or two useful expressions and try to use them during the week.

You can use Spanish whenever you need it. The important thing is to stay inside the story and enjoy the mystery.
