Not What I Expected
Jul 18, 2016 | By Kerri
This activity book basically is translation from English to Spanish and has students coloring the correct words. Students read a story in English and match the appropriate Spanish word. I was looking for something more authentic than this. I would not recommend this book at all, unless this is what you are looking for.
Staff's Response: Hi Kerri, Thank you for reviewing the Still Puzzled Verb Activities for Spanish. I am sorry to hear you were disappointed with the activities. I am sharing your comment regarding authentic content with the developer and manager. Sounds like a great idea for a new book. Please look for an email from us regarding your purchase. -Kristin
Love It!

My students (high school and college) loved It's A Puzzlement, and I'm delighted to see that the author has created an equally excellent follow-up. Fun for all ages and an effective way of reinforcing both vocabulary and grammar. I highly recommend it for all levels of language learning - it's fun, and the students learn. What more can we ask?
Staff's Response: Hi Camilia, Thanks for the review. Love that you and your students have enjoyed both It's a Puzzlement and Still Puzzled! -Kristin
Still Puzzled
Oct 22, 2016 | By Anna-Maria Raney
Five stars again! My students love these activities!! I disagree with the above negative comment. Students must know verbs and conjugations. It is not merely recognition.
Staff's Response: Thanks for taking the time to review the Still Puzzled book Anna-Maria. Great to hear your students love the activities! -Kristin

An Excellent Supplement
Nov 25, 2016 | By pat colmer
I am a retired language teacher and enjoy tutoring middle school and high school students. Using a student's text during a tutoring session can become tedious and unproductive. It's always a welcome treat when I use "Still Puzzled". After 30 minutes of working on assignments and reinforcing grammar with the text
I am a retired language teacher and I enjoy keeping busy by tutoring. I use the student's text and handouts for the first 30 minutes. Sometimes that becomes tedious and unproductive. It's a welcome change and treat for the student when we can make learning fun. That's when I use "Still Puzzled" and the next 30 minutes is over before we know it!
Staff's Response: Wonderful to hear Pat! Thank you for sharing how you "treat" your students to "Still Puzzled" verb activities. Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving! -Kristin
Grammar can be fun!
Mar 13, 2017 | By Marie Chelkowski
These helpful coloring sheets not only stresses the importance of subject pronouns and English equivalents to help my students better grasp the context they are actually using their grammar, but it makes it more fun! My students LOVE these worksheets and everyone can succeed at these scavenges.
Learning while having fun

My students don't even realize they're still learning. while doing activities.
Similar but different
Sep 28, 2017 | By Dawn Anderson
This book has the same puzzles as a prior book. The words are different but the puzzles the same. I was disappointed by this, especially after asking customer service first about the differences in the books and being told they were not the same. Just be aware of this before you purchase. I DO like the first book and have used it often!
Staff's Response: Hi Dawn, Thank you for your review. We are sorry your were told the kinds of puzzles in the books were different. I will discuss this with the customer service representative you spoke with when you placed your order. Thanks again.
Spanish 2 grammar
Jan 3, 2019 | By Vasthi gibson
I love the book. I have the first one too. It's a good way to challenge the students and they get immediate feedback once the puzzle is filled in.

Quick activity ideal to leave for a sub. Students match verb conjugation Spanish to English and then color the matching number on the image page.
Wonderful verb review!
May 21, 2020 | By Jacquelyn Youngerman
I have been wanting these worksheets for years after seeing a colleague using them! I generally teach with a proficiency-based approach, but the rest of my department does not. Whenever we learn or practice verbs, some students beg for a practice worksheet. These are great because they have LOTS of verb practice AND some coloring to help other students get on bored. Students regularly choose these over other types of practice.
