Top, Kid-Tested, Popular Books for Spanish Beginners: The List You Need
READ THE POST: bestpowerpointsforspanishclass.com/top-kid-tested-popular-books-for-spanish-beginners-the-list-you-need/
When I was teaching, I could not find books for Spanish beginners or French learners, levels one, two, and three. There were plenty of novels for advanced students but not for principiantes.
So, it occurred to me: Why don’t I ask world language teachers to recommend novels their students read and actually LIKE? So, I did and I’m going to share the results with you.
In this blog post, I will give you a list of teacher-recommended, kid-tested novels for lower, intermediate, and advanced levels with links to those books. There are many available novellas to purchase, but I listed only the ones that were recommended and classroom-tested or that I personally have used with success.
The Compelling Component of Comprehensible Input
One year, my department used a popular book for Spanish One. My students and I found it boring. It definitely did not fulfill the “compelling” component of comprehensible input. It’s hard enough to inspire students to read in a second language when the plot is a page-turner. However, insipid stories turn students into reluctant readers. For that reason, I wrote many French and Spanish short stories, illustrated TPRS stories and other cuentos with accompanying activities to recycle the vocabulary and concepts.
Those French and Spanish stories hooked students into the plots so they almost forgot they were reading in another language. They provided great comprehensible input to my students and led them to higher proficiency levels, which in turn enabled them to read longer, more advanced novels.

Hello, I purchased this curriculum in July 2023, I saw there is some updates. However, I am not able to access the files and folders once I download it. It says the destination path is too long. Is there any way I can access the curriculum via google drive. Please let me know. thank you!
Hi, Sara. Of course! Please email me at altespoir@sbcglobal.net with the order ID number and I will send you the Google Drive links. Angie
I will send you the files as well.
😢I wouldn’t do that way…your head!
Thank you! I've been working on lifting my head. :)

the caption says nothing
I see the caption. ???
@@angietorre5658 this kinda makes no sense i would make yt shorts differently.
@@angietorre5658 not to mention i just noticed literally everyone also doesnt see a caption so dont gas light me hahahaha
I don’t use chat gpt to cheat at all I use it to clarify answers
Chat GPT is my assistant for many tasks. :)
@@angietorre5658 your post will go viral in a couple of months be patient. Teacher will start to realize and students will get smarter
Students will change all font to black before copying 😂😂😂😂😂
Yep! They're smart!
So true!! 31 years of experience amazing! At the beginning of this path is hard!!
Yes! I remember those first years! It's a good thing I thought I was over confident. If I hadn't been, I would have been discouraged. LOL There is so much to learn.
graciass
Clever idea, but when you copy and paste it into Chat GPT, it restores the font and color of the trojan horse
Oh my goodness! You're right! Well then, it's not so clever after all. Hmmm. Why is it used by so many teachers?
Ok
where? caption?
Thank you for pointing out that I left out the link. It is now in the video description. Angie
Put the ways in the video or don't post it
Thank you for your input. The link is in the description. Just one click takes you to the post. It is quite long with other tutorial videos. I hope you can read it.
Good, now i know how to not fall on these tricks heheheheheh
Thank you for your comment. I hope you were able to read the post. Here is the link: bestpowerpointsforspanishclass.com/how-to-keep-students-from-cheating-with-chat-gpt/
Where can I find the link? I would love to read more about this topic!
Hello: The link was on the description; I just put it at the top of the description. Here it is also: bestpowerpointsforspanishclass.com/how-to-keep-students-from-cheating-with-chat-gpt/
Songs only get reviewed and approved if they get a certain number of views on the platform. That's why it's important to share the link to the video you've submitted with others to get it more views. And for those who aren't contributing videos themselves, when you search for something always have the "pending review" box ticked so that you can give views to songs that others have submitted that haven't been approved yet. That's the only way to get more content on the platform in the language you're trying to learn.
Thank you for the information!
I want to use this app with my students but wonder if it has just disappeared. I can't find it in the Apple App Store.
It looks like the app is now called LingoClip
for me the caption says okay
Hello. I don't understand your comment. Do you have a question?
So only post caption

Dancing?
No, I don't use dancing to teach the object pronouns. Is that what you meant? That might be interesting. :)
We can’t see your response with the answer fyi
@Ingrid Jeffers I don't have an answer, I was expecting one from Angie.

Of course you can. It is a cultural event specific to a particular region of the world. No different than teaching about say Diwali or Rosh Hashanah, or St. Patrick's Day.
I agree! Before I understood the tradition, I wasn't sure and I think others weren't either. That's why I wrote the post. Did you have time to read it?

This looks unsafe
I worked with a trainer but you may be right. I have a new coach now, though. He's very diligent about making sure I have proper form. I'm not pushing myself as much anymore. :) Angie
I recommend especially when going for a PR to keep your head and chest looking forward. This keeps your lower back safer.
I appreciate that! Thanks so much!
What a great video! Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas! 🎄⛄❄
What a great resource for teachers!
Hola
maybe make the moreno guy the novio ? other than that, clear explanation. thanks!
I’m a student taking AP Spanish and I have been studying very hard this summer (I’m not a native speaker) so what tenses should I know for Spanish 4 AP?
Spanish Four and AP are two different levels at my school. Upon entering Spanish Four, you should know the present tense, regular and irregular verbs, future, conditional, present perfect, reflexive verbs, preterite vs. imperfect, and an introduction to the present subjunctive. Spanish Four students entering AP Spanish should know all of the subjunctive (but it is reviewed in AP) and compound tenses such as pluperfect and the pluperfect subjunctive. You should also be starting to read short novels and be able to organize and write five paragraph essays. Does that help? Angie
Angie Torre yes it does I have a lot of studying to do
Hello! I am teaching the Spanish AP class for the first time (language and culture). I just noticed there are 6 units. How do you distribute these 6 units in a year? Thanks.
Hi, Diana: I spend the most time on the first theme (for me that is La vida contemporánea) bestpowerpointsforspanishclass.com/good-reasons-why-i-teach-ap-spanish-the-way-i-do-3/ (Click on the link to find out why I begin with this theme.) I spend the most time on this theme because students practice each section of the exam step-by-step until they are familiar with each one. I have a Table of Contents that shows you my pacing. Click on the following link to get it: mailchi.mp/4351a8bb9f66/free_ap_spanish_pacing_guide Just put in your name and email address.
