Students get to know the characters better by seeing and listening to their biographies and watching videos of some dialogue via QR codes found throughout the reader. Each chapter has questions at the end to stimulate higher thinking and use of Spanish. At the end, the entire book is read in reader’s-theater style to help reinforce vocabulary and comprehension. A must-have for every Spanish student! Simply scan the QR codes with your smartphone or tablet using any free QR code reader.

Interactive- ideal for differentiation
Jul 9, 2019 | By Jessica
So I saw the hype and figured...why not? WOW! These little readers are complete! There are so many different ways to use these readers I'm not really sure where I want to start. I think they will be ideal for my 3's returning from summer break- a nice easy present-tense refresher. The audio version to help them get 'back in the swing of Spanish' but enough cultural references that they can work on extended activities for the first two weeks of class. I think my 1's will be ready for these as a center (the book does READ to you, and at variable speeds, with a native speaker...yay a different voice from me and the videos that contribute to character development) in November- unless I want to start characterization as a lesson, then teach up to the level of the novels or to use the novels as review... so many choices. My lower 2's may benefit from these as a review (but not babied down) after a month or so. These are well-designed, I would love a class set. The audio/video components are easy to access, short, no app required- just a camera and internet. The comprehension questions guide student reading and the glossary helps students focus on content rather than on vocab. I'll review again with student feedback after school starts.
Thank you for a great product.
