Ellen Ochoa Comprehensible Reading for Spanish 2 +

This Level 2-3 Spanish Reading is great for Women's History Month or Hispanic Heritage Month! It uses the past simple (pretérito) and comprehensible words to describe the life and work of Ellen Ochoa, the first Hispanic woman to travel to space.

I love to use activities like this for a do-now, guided reading, or part of station-based work in my classroom.

This 97-word reading includes 3 versions, with comprehension questions in English and Spanish, English, and Spanish so that you can differentiate for your students.

This resource includes:

• Level 2-3 reading
• Pretérito tense
• Comprehensible vocabulary and cognates
• Comprehension questions in English & Spanish

Perfect for International Women's Day or Hispanic Heritage Month!

This reading is a great jumping-off point for larger projects connected to International Women's Day, Women's History Month, or Hispanic Heritage Month.

1. Students skim the reading, marking cognates and familiar words before reading independently, with a partner, or whole-class
