First-Year Student Response Has Been Amazing!

"I used Las aventuras de Miguelito with my brand-new Spanish students and it made an incredible difference in their confidence levels! The chapters are short and use a lot of conversational Spanish vocabulary. I read the narrative paragraphs to the class but ask students to take the roles of the characters and read the actual conversations out loud. I then give my students time to re-read the chapter to themselves and answer the list of preguntas listed at the end of each chapter. The student response has been amazing! My kids are so pleased to be able to easily de-code an entire book in Spanish—and having a real interest in Miguelito’s story has really reinforced their vocabulary skills. I am very happy to have the Cartas a Susana sequel to introduce to my second-year students.
¡Muchas gracias!"

This is a great series and I hope there will be more in the future! The book is designed well and the chapters are short, but full of vocab.

This little reader is perfect to increase confidence and review at the the beginning of Spanish II. The reader is based on common Spanish I information and beginning Spanish II readers will be excited to actually read a book rather than sit through another boring review!

LOVE this book. This is great for Spanish 1 or even Spanish 2. It is an easy reader so that students will not get frustrated with too many words they do not know.

This book is awesome! Not only is the story entertaining for beginning and intermediate Spanish learners, but there are questions and activities at the end of every chapter. Perfect! Filled with culture and friendship, I highly recommend this book. My students are going to love seeing it as a new addition to our classroom library. Thank you! :-)

Fabuloso!

I really enjoy using this book with my advanced beginners class. It is enjoyable as it allows beginning Spanish students to read about a funny little mouse's adventures. Love it!
