Now comes the fun part, reading!
As you read a mystery look for pistas (clues) and Spanish words.
​Once you find them write them down in your handbook.

Did you bust the Misterio?
Did you take notes? Did you find pistas?
Did you write them down? Did anything surprise you?
Now for the most important question of all, did you bust the misterio, the mystery?

Did you bust the Spanish Words?
Did you write down the words written in Spanish?
Were you able to figure out what they mean?
Did you read what the words mean at the back of the book?

Need to practice the Spanish Words?
If you're like Perla when she was first learning Spanish, you might need some practice
in remembering what Spanish words mean. If you do, click here for some fun
and mysterious filled printable practice sheets!

Tell your parents, teachers or friends what it took
to bust this misterio!

Now that you've finished reading your Perla Garcia mystery, talk to your parents, teachers, or friends about how you solved the misterio and the Spanish words you found. Talk to them about the pistas, the Spanish words, and how you were able to solve the mystery and learn Spanish at the same time!

Congratulations!

Now that you've busted a Perla Garcia Mystery,
​you deserve an award and some special prizes!
