Teaching Spanish - level 1

First Year Teaching Spanish

​

"Teaching Spanish with Comprehensible Input Through Storytelling. First Year Spanish" is composed of stories for one school year of first year Spanish, including vocabulary and grammar structures. You will find the basic story that you will teach each week (16 stories), its vocabulary, personalized questions to ask at the beginning of each class, and vocabulary quizzes for each story. For the method to be effective, this book must be used along with "Learning Spanish with Comprehensible Input Through Storytelling. First Year Spanish”. This is the student book that includes the extended reading version for each of the stories, as well as comprehension questions. The extended reading is a longer version of the story that is 80% comprehensible and 20% new. The idea is that students will use their prior knowledge to decode the words and ideas they don't know in the other 20% of the text. It is important to note that when using this book (along with the student's book), there is little to no preparation. Everything is well laid out and explained. If you want to see storytelling in action and how to use the books, please check out my YouTube channel: "Teaching Spanish with Comprehensible Input".
