El artículo discurre sobre la importancia del fomento de la lectura en los niños y el rol de las bibliotecas. El autor describe un programa bibliotecario para promover la animación lectora, el cual consiste en la construcción de un tren de varios vagones representando niveles diferentes de lectura, citando el caso de la biblioteca de Los Montecillos en Dos Hermanas, Sevilla, España.

The paper analyses two CLIL textbooks of Science in English. One is published in Bulgaria and the other one in Spain. The evaluation of these textbooks takes into consideration two parameters: the Flesch readability index and the indexes stated by the Project 2061. The results of this analysis show that the Spanish textbook is more valid than the Bulgarian one. The Bulgarian has a low readability index and a low score at the Project 2061 index. The Spanish textbook, on the contrary, has a low readability index and a high score at the Project 2061 one. Extended reading rarely occurs in science lessons. Science is perceived as a practical, hands-on subject. Yet reading is an important scientific activity. "Minds-on" is as much a part of real science as "hands-on". Wellington, J., ed.
