Alma Strikes a Chord

READING

LOW INTERMEDIATE

When Alma tries to write a song for her boyfriend Quang, she learns that actions speak louder than words. 

This short novel for low-intermediate students of English introduces more quirky characters from Portland. It works well as a sequel to Stig Digs In and A Closer Read, or by itself. The book includes vocabulary lists, comprehension questions, discussion prompts, and activity suggestions.
