Book Description

Approaching language details informally and with a minimum of classroom-style presentation, author and educator Harvey offers practical instruction in Spanish basics. The focus is on conversational Spanish for teachers, counselors, administrators, and other employees at schools where Spanish is the first language of many students. Two opening chapters present fundamentals of Spanish speech and word order, and familiarize readers with often-used words and phrases that relate directly to school situations. The two following chapters pertain to Spanish that is most useful for communicating with younger students (pre-school through elementary grades) and older students (middle and high school grades). Remaining chapters offer help for counseling in Spanish in issues relating to health care, career guidance, college assistance, educational administration, special-needs, and extracurricular activities. A Spanish-English and English-Spanish glossary is also provided to help educators find the right word or phrase for a variety of situations.

5 out of 5 stars A must have for any educator of Spanish speaking students........2004-05-09

I found this book to be very helpful as a resource in my classroom. With several Spanish speaking students (preschool) I repeatedly returned to this book for answers. I do have some knowledge of Spanish. I can see how this book could not be as helpfull to an educator with little or no Spanish language background. It was very relevant to school situations. I have used it as a resource when dealing with students from 2 years old to 20 years old. Every school should be required to have this wonderful book available to its educators.

3 out of 5 stars Useful if you have had prior experience w/Spanish........2003-10-28

As a special education teacher in an inner city school, I am in constant contact w/the parents of my students, most of whom are of Hispanic descent.

Since I have had prior experience w/Spanish, I am able to make good use of this resource. The authors provide vocabulary and phrases for a pretty good number of school situations. I think they wrote this book under the presupposition that the user would construct their own sentences w/the vocabulary and phrases provided.

Which leads me to one of the big weaknesses of this book. The authors would have done well to use conversation vignettes to introduce the topics they cover as giving the reader a context for use would go a long way to assimilating this vocabulary. As it stands now, this book is a glorified dictionary and phrase book; there was a better way to present a book of this nature that would have been far more useful than what it is in its current form.

1 out of 5 stars Nearly worthless.......2001-10-28

This book should be called "Spanish vocabulary for educators" as that's about all it offers. An occasional poorly presented grammar lesson is thrown in. At one point Mr. Harvey says a grammatical concept is too hard to explain so just find some Spanish speaking people and listen to them. I would have the exact quote (which I did when I wrote to the publisher about this insult to educators) but I threw the book out. Don't waste your money on this piece of trash; a good dictionary will serve you better.

5 out of 5 stars Very good.......1999-09-22

Most language courses give you a lot of words and phrases which are needed if you are a tourist. This one concentrates on what you need if you work in the schools. The author writes very clearly and the lessons follow a natural progression. Everything I learned here was useful. A very good investment. Get the book with the tapes. They are well worth it.

5 out of 5 stars Translated educational vocabulary commonly used in schools........1999-02-04

This easy to use book helps even the Spanish illerate speak and converse. With easy to access vocabulary and phrases, you will be on your way to making your Spanish speaking parents and students feel welcome in your school. Everything from discipline to the clinic is covered in this book. I would like to see a copy in all of our school buildings to make easy references and translations for our parents and students.

Continue listening to the same lesson until you have mastered it & then move on to the next. If you have the opportunity, follow along w/ the listening guide. There is a native & non-native speaker on the CD. Beginning language learners find it helpful to hear the pronunciation of a non-native speaker while also hearing the pronunciation of a native speaker. The lessons are laid out by topic & each lesson is on a separate track. This allows you to skip directly to the lesson that you want to practice or review. There is much repetition throughout the program, i.e. Open...(Abra...) Open your...(Abra sus...) Open your books. (Abra sus libros.) This allows you to hear the same word many times. The program uses simple language & cognates (words that look & sound similar in English & Spanish). There is customized music playing in the background during the program. Besides adding pleasure to the language learning experience, studies show that music enhances the learning process.

      4 out of 5 stars Good Resource!.......2006-07-29

      I teach Spanish and ESL/ELL. I often translate materials for other teachers who do not speak spanish and am always looking for good resources.
      In my opinion this book is probably not for someone who doesn't know anything about Spanish or who is a beginner. However, if you have some knowledge and are trying to improve your Spanish as an educator, this might be the book for you.
      The book is divided into several chapters such as, Information Parents Need to Enroll Their Children in School, The Primary Grades, Success in School, and many others. Each chapter covers basic vocabulary, as well as, how to formulate sentences related to the chapter and a grammar review. There are also practice exercises with an answer key in the back. Over all it covers a large range of vocabulary used in the school setting.

        Book Description

        Autobiography. Biography. Memoir. Interview/Essay. In Spanish. Luis Leal, long-time professor at both the University of Illinois and the University of California, Santa Barbara and author of 16 books of essays and criticism and countless articles which have been instrumental in giving Chicano and Mexican literature the attention they deserve in the U.S., was born in Linares, Mexico in 1907. DON LUIS LEAL recounts his memoirs in the form of a fascinating, warmly intellectual conversation with fellow UC Santa Barbara professor Vmctor Fuentes, beginning with his childhood experiences as a "son of the Mexican Revolution," including the arrival of Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata in Mexico City, and tracing his life in Chicago and his military experience in the Phillipines before ending in a substantial exploration of his views on Chicano literary criticism and cultural production.

            Book Description

            ". . . well-conceived, clearly organized, and lucidly written."--Louis Mendoza, University of Texas-San Antonio

            ". . . couches the Latino rationale in sensitive, evocative vignettes of mother, father, and family love in the Latino community. . . . successfully contributes one of the few such book-length pro-Latino identity commentaries in a literary genre."--Andrés Tijerina, Austin Community College

            Now that Latinos are the most numerous ethnic minority in the United States and a growing part of the middle and professional classes, Latinos can see that their sun is rising. Working within a traditional Aztec framework of "suns" or days, Marco Portales looks through the window of individual life onto the "morning" (sol naciente) of growing up as a minority member of American society, the "noontime" (sol ardiente) of private adult life and the transmission of identity to a new generation, and the full heat of afternoon (sol radiante), when public business is done and the larger polity is addressed.

            In a society that often asks people to choose between their American and Mexican identities, Portales inscribes himself into his people's experience, remaining fully aware that no one person's story can embody the great worth and potential of all U.S. Latinos.

                3 out of 5 stars Challenging the System.......2007-04-18

                Maisie Potter has a huge crush on Eric Delong. It developed over the summer when they bumped into each other in a pool. Unfortunately, he is dating Liz, an evil cheerleader. Maisie decides to do whatever she can to get his attention, so she tries out for cheerleading. She is cut from the team.

                When winter season arrives, Maisie doesn't try out for basketball, which she played the year before. Instead, she is the only girl to try out for wrestling--the team Eric is on. Maisie soon learns that there's a lot more to wrestling than she's seen on television.

                As Maisie discovers that she actually likes the sport of wrestling and it's no longer all about getting Eric's attention, she also realizes something awful--everyone seems to be against her. Her coach doesn't seem to want her on his team, her teammates don't accept her and they treat her badly, the fans seem to be rooting against her, and the boys from other schools who are supposed to wrestle her in competitions forfeit the matches, giving her an automatic win in order to avoid wrestling her.

                It started off as just something to get a boy's attention, but when things get really tough will Maisie actually stick with the team?

                I liked that this book didn't have the classic happy ending. As a result of her decisions Maisie didn't end up getting everything she ever wanted, but she seemed to be satisfied. I really liked Maisie's parents and the way they treated her and her siblings.

                I found that many of the characters were far too predictable, though. There were few who were able to surprise me.

                4 out of 5 stars Are you in my Hammerlock?.......2007-01-11

                This book is amazing! You have to read it!!! This book is about a girl who didn't make it on the cheerleading team and goes for something new, something that no other girl did. She went out for wrestling and made the team but there are a few problems along the way. Can she really do this or is she a fake? You can find out by reading this amazing book!

                ~There's A Girl In My Hammerlock~
                How would I describe it? I could describe it as many things but the top reasons are that it made me think and wonder, and also makes me want to write my own book. Best of all it made me read, read, and read.
                The title sounded very wierd, but the moment I saw this book I said,"I can't believe that I am going to read this book." When I was done reading the book,I said to myself, "This book was the best book ever." I also said,"That saying is right. You can't judge a book by the cover."
                You just have to get your hands on THIS BOOK!
                The cover isn't the best thing ever, but the book is!
                Go to library now and check out this book. You will have this book forever, even in your dreams. I know I will. If you like to be outside a lot or eat dinner, well, you are not going to have time anymore for that. You will read,read,read!
                This book needs those five stars. If the stare would go higher I would rate it 100 if there was such a thing, and a Newbery medal! Pick this book up NOW!!!!!!

                4 out of 5 stars Great Wrestling Book.......2006-10-03

                My review on this book is a pretty good review. This book wouldn't exactly be my first choice, but it was a good book. If you were into wrestling I would highly recomend this book. It has a lot of wrestling moves and some terms listed. There are some funny parts as well. I would not recomend this book to children under 5th grade and would strongly suggest that you would at least be 10 or 11. This is a good book and I highly suggest it.

                5 out of 5 stars wow!!!.......2006-01-07

                i just started reading this book for my Battle Of The Books n i think that is awesome!!!everyone should read this book!!!

                5 out of 5 stars There's a Girl in my Hammerlock.......2000-11-21

                This was actually the first book I ever read all the waythrough in less than three days. ... Jerry Spinelli has a way of pin pointing a youngperson's perspective and expressing it to his audience. It was a coming of age story, about a girl and her secret crush. Her crush was on the wrestling team for her school. So basically she goes out for the team too, to be closer to him. Once she makes the team she realizes what a big deal, it was for her to make it. Her purpose than changes from love to overcome social sexual-bias against women, peer pressure, and high school torture. It was a warming story, that I can still remember. I would highly recommend this book for young girls, it's a great girl power story.
