How we scored them

The Shelf Score weighs fit for the reader, contents and edition, value, and the listed reading age or level where one is given. Three of the five list a reading age, each marked as from customers, and two of those also list a grade level. How we pick explains the weights.

Scores run from 9.2 to 9.8: each book’s point total is placed on that range, so more points always means a higher score. Reading age or level counts on a list where at least one listing gives one, and a book whose listing gives none then scores zero on it. Where no listing gives one, the score is taken over the other 85 points. Books carry no warranty, so warranty is not scored.

How to choose the best alphabet book in Spanish

Reading age and grade

Match the book to the child. The Alfaro set lists Baby to 2 years and the Howell book lists 1 to 3 years, both marked as from customers; the Wonder House book lists 1 to 7 years with grade level 2. Treat customer-listed ages as a starting point. See our picture books in Spanish for more age-matched picks.

Alphabet book or word book

A true alphabet book like the Howell title runs A to Z, while word books like the Alfaro set and the Wonder House volume teach themed vocabulary. Pick the A-to-Z structure for a first alphabet, and the themed sets for vocabulary building. Our books about the alphabet list covers more letter-first titles.

Before you buy

• Note that the reading ages here are marked as from customers, not stated by the publisher.
