Rocking Resources for September: Digital & Print

As we waltz into the month of September, Teaching Spanish Made Easy, and Novels by A.C. Quintero have just the RIGHT resources you’ll need to rock the boat, but don’t rock it too much!

Almost a decade after its debut, this school-drenched drama still has students hooked. See what all the buzz is about! La clase de confesiones is a comprehensible input novel that prioritizes students’ confidence, connection, and comprehension. The result, students learn effortlessly!

La clase de confesiones is the perfect novel to read second semester in level 1 Spanish or to kick off Spanish 2 at the beginning of the year.

It doesn’t JUST review classroom objects and classes — it weaves them seamlessly into the drama. And at the heart of the novel? A classroom crush that’ll have them squirming in their seats. With an animated book trailer (below) and a teacher’s manual, this novel will have students laughing, talking, and — most of all — rooting for this awkward kid to get the girl!

Check out the trailer below! Interested in this novel? See comments below video.

Looking for a set with the teacher’s manual? Check out Readersbyacquintero.com or CPLI.net.

The first novel comes in Spanish, French, and German. The sequel… my favorite, comes in Spanish and French.
