Description

By: Adriana Ramírez

This sweet and funny Level 1 book (also great for Level 2) includes 112 word families and 33 cognates, perfect for those who are beginning to read in Spanish. But what makes it truly special is its message: the fly is dyslexic.

I am dyslexic too, and I wrote this story so that dyslexic students can feel seen, understood, and proud of the way they learn, and so that all readers can discover that there are many different ways to understand the world.

¿Qué mosca te picó? is part of the Por si las moscas collection, a series of eight books created especially for students who are just starting their reading journey in Spanish. So far, six books in the collection have been published (four written by me and two by my friend Margarita Pérez García).

These books are ideal for Free Voluntary Reading (FVR) or as class novels in Levels 1 and 2. Additionally, collections with continuity—such as Por si las moscas—are especially valuable for neurodivergent students, because familiar characters and connected stories give them a sense of security and motivation to keep reading.

A simple, warm, and deeply human story about friendship, empathy, and diversity in learning.

And you, do you already have your flies in class?

The book includes a complete Spanish-English glossary.

Por si las moscas is a collection of books written by Adriana Ramírez from Colombia and Margarita Pérez García from Venezuela. Por si las moscas is a collection of easy books for Spanish students. Each story is based on a proverb or a typical expression of Latin America and leads us to discover the richness of our language through fun and endearing stories where the main character is a fly. There are 5 books in the collection. The books are written in present tense with high-frequency vocabulary and with fewer than 150 unique words including cognates. They are a treat for your beginners. Get them all!

There's a Teacher's Guide, too!

The Teacher’s Guide for ¿Qué mosca te picó? is a digital resource created by Adriana Ramírez to make it easier for teachers to use her book in the classroom. It is designed to be used as-is, or teachers can choose the activities and sections that best fit their needs. No printing is required—everything can be projected, explained, and worked on directly with students (who use their notebooks to answer questions and complete activities).  

This Teacher's Guide includes comprehension questions, activities for reflecting on the book’s themes, prompts for class discussions, and ideas for assessment. It also features songs, videos, images, and other resources that enrich the reading experience. 

All of Adriana's Teaching Guides were born from her own teaching experience, with the goal of easing the day-to-day planning load. Adriana uses them with her own classes: She sees students for 80 minutes a day, and one guide gives her enough material for about three to four weeks, including reading time, independent work, and assessment. 

Rather than being “perfect” materials, these guides aim to be useful, clear, and realistic, designed to support those who teach every day.
