TRWRR Stories as PDFs Exported to MS Word

These PDFs may be exported to Microsoft Word and read aloud in both desktop and mobile views. They consist of 4 files containing all 360 stories of The Red Well-Read Reader in both English and Spanish. Together, there are 456 pages. On nearly every side-by-side-page view there is at least one cartoonish figure. 

​

The purpose of these dual-language files is to make possible comparing English, as well as Spanish, side by side with virtually any other language.
