"Spanish-language educators tell me that they too often spend precious time translating English-only material so that it can work with their students. My Facebook and Twitter messages and my email inbox are all filled with educators who are asking for the same thing: A Spanish edition of The Writing Strategies Book. I'm so glad it's finally here!"
