Help me give my students 2 classroom sets of books we will read in Spanish! These books are made for students learning the language and are comprehensible for novice learners.
I am a first year teacher teaching Spanish in St. Louis, MO. In the 2025-2026 school year I plan to teach through comprehensible input and TPRS. We will be readings a novel each semester and the novels I have listed will be books students can have hands on access to as we read them as a class. These books are written to help novice learners comprehend the language. The book Tumba also incorporates a lot of cultural aspects of Day of the Dead. Capibara will be used for Spanish 1 and Tumba will be used for Spanish 2.
