These are not stories for teaching

Staff's Response: I'm very sorry to hear that this product was not what you were expecting. We have an unconditional 100% guarantee, you are welcome to a return and refund any time you're unsatisfied.
Thank you for taking the time to tell us exactly why the product is not what you were looking for. Based on your comments, we are considering changes to our advertising to prevent others from having the same experience. We're looking to include more detail about what is and what is not contained in the book, in order to make clearer that it is supplemental and intended to be used in conjunction with other materials and activities (which may or may not include use of other materials Martina has authored and suggests to accompany them), not a complete curriculum; intended for use after students have had input that contains the grammatical structures the book covers; and contains targeted readings and not story scripts. We'll contrast what students are asked to do in the activities (for example, reading for understanding and then picking out in the reading certain grammatical features) with drill and kill approaches (endless verb conjugations without context), and describe more of the topics of the stories/articles (a kid who has a bad day in which everything goes wrong, a brief introduction to Tennis star Rafael Nadal, a description of how some children in Guatemala make a living salvaging from garbage dumps, a short comprehensible version of the three little pigs, a discussion of the origins of the word gringo, etc.) so that buyers can more easily judge if the topics will be compelling to their students prior to purchase.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts.
