Emily Elizabeth Goes to School (in Spanish): A Clifford Interactive Storybook Activity
Will Emily Elizabeth like school? Early readers help build this Spanish-language Clifford Interactive Storybook by completing sentences.
- Grades: PreK–K, 1–2
In the Spanish-language “Emily Elizabeth Goes to School” Clifford Interactive Storybook, early readers follow Emily Elizabeth during her “big day” at school.

In each page, students choose a word (from three options) to complete a sentence and then listen to the page read aloud with the new sentence. The illustration also changes to reflect the new word and sentence.
