Publisher's Synopsis
Contains the complete Level 2 short story collections from Units 1 - 6. Present the Spanish stories in this collection to your students and they will be engaged instantly in the target language. After all, a compelling story (as long as it is comprehensible) can delight and inspire. It's more than magic; it's science-specifically, Stephen Krashen's theory of second language acquisition-which states that "'comprehensible input' is the crucial and necessary ingredient for the acquisition of language." Stories-especially comprehensible input (CI) stories, like those in this collection-can be this "necessary ingredient" for language acquisition. By reading these stories, your students will meet an array of different characters, all of whom live in different Spanish-speaking countries and encounter various obstacles. Through the characters' stories, students learn about customs and practices specific to the Spanish-speaking communities. Students will be hooked, learning both the culture and the language, almost without realizing it. If you would like more CI resources, go online to VocesDigital.com and sign up for a free trial of Nuestra historia, an online comprehensible input and proficiency-based curriculum. You'll find these same stories, along with a wealth of CI resources and interactive elements that you and your students will love.
