Reina Ramos, Neighborhood Helper

Reina helps her neighbors in this Level Two I Can Read story about Reina Ramos, a loyal friend whose high-spirited antics sometimes cause chaos, but who always finds a way to make things right! Features Spanish vocabulary and a glossary.

Reina’s school is holding a food drive for the local shelter, and the classroom with the most cans wins a pizza party! Reina’s excited to help out, but when she gets home Abuela has other plans. With all the extra errands, Abuela can’t go to the store and Reina’s worried she won’t have enough cans. When her class narrowly loses the competition (and the pizza party), Reina is really upset, but after spending some time helping Abuela take care of their neighbors she remembers just what the competition was all about—helping neighbors!

Reina Ramos: Neighborhood Helper is a Level Two I Can Read book, geared for kids who read on their own but still need a little help. The story also contains several Spanish words and a glossary.
