“Ricitos de oro” by Robert Southey 
This is simply the classic fairytale, “Goldilocks and the Three Bears.” You probably already know it by heart, which makes it a very easy-to-understand short story.

As in the classic story, there are lots of adjectives and comparatives to describe the differences between the bears, beds and bowls of porridge—too hot, too cold, just right, you know the drill here.
You’ll find 300 more fun Spanish stories on Cuentos infantiles, many of which are based on classic English stories. The stories are suitable for all ages, but the site also offers a recommended age range for each one.

Spanish Short Stories from Beginner to Advanced
“Tairon el super tramposo” by Hans Wilhelm 
This fun little tale is perfect for younger Spanish students as there are large illustrations matching the written text.
Tairon, a large and dominating dinosaur, cheats at all of the games that the other dinosaurs had planned for their fun weekend away—but the other dinosaurs decide to play a clever trick on Tairon. In the end, he learns a valuable lesson.
The story uses some simple past tense constructions so it’s a good pick for practicing this grammar topic and getting exposed to its various uses in different contexts.
You’ll find a few more charming, illustrated short stories for beginners like this one available on the Children’s Library website. Although the Spanish selection isn’t massive, the stories are very high quality and perfect for younger students.

Or = o, ó, u EN ESPAÑOL:
"Or" is normally translated as o.
Por ejemplo…
¿Quieres café o té? Do you want coffee or tea?
When o is used with numerals, it becomes ó with an accent, to avoid confusion with the number 0.
ó 3 2 or 39 ó 10 9 or 10

"AND" EN ESPAÑOL:
The words "and" and "or" are coordinating conjunctions. In Spanish, these two words have a few different forms depending on what they’re used with.

Type Accents
Writing in Spanish
It’s just as important to include accents when writing in Spanish as it is to spell words correctly. It drives me kind of crazy when people say, sorry, I can’t type accents on my computer / tablet / smartphone.
Yes, you can type accents – yes! even on your old computer.
No, you don’t have to buy a Spanish keyboard, or install any software.
Virtually every system has at least one built-in method for typing accents – you just need to follow these links to find out what it is and how to activate it.

Do you type accents?

Tilde: ñ
Spanish double letter
The ~ accent, called a tilde, on the Spanish letter Ñ indicates that the word used to be spelled with two Ns but now the tilde stands in for the second one. Ñ is pronounced like the ni in onion.
It’s very important to include the tilde when writing or typing, because N and Ñ are two different letters. There are words that mean different things depending on whether the word is spelled and pronounced with N or Ñ. Also, Ñ has its own section of the dictionary which comes after the entire N section.

Try to pronounce some words with this letter and send it 🤗
