Testimonials

Ms. Bilby, Texas: "Los quince de Raquel was a game-changer for my Spanish 1 class! The story is relatable for teenagers and uses vocabulary and grammar structures perfectly aligned with their learning level.  The built-in activities made comprehension checks and discussions a breeze, and my students loved discussing the cultural aspects of a quinceañera."

Mr. Garcia, California: "I was looking for a high-interest reader for my Spanish 2 class, and Los quince de Raquel did not disappoint! It provided a springboard for discussions about family traditions, cultural clashes, and expressing emotions.  The students connected with Raquel's struggles and enjoyed predicting what would happen next."

Mrs. Hernandez, Florida: "This book was a fantastic addition to my FVR library.  Los quince de Raquel's engaging storyline and manageable chapters made it perfect for independent reading practice. My students' confidence in reading Spanish grew tremendously after tackling this book."

Mr. Ross, Arizona: "El Cucuy brought folklore and legends to life in my Spanish 3 class!  It sparked curiosity about mythical creatures in Latin America and provided a platform for practicing descriptions and expressing fear.  My students even had fun creating their own scary stories inspired by El Cucuy!"

Ms. Lane, New York: "This book was a wonderful resource for introducing the preterite tense to my Spanish 4 class.  El Cucuy's suspenseful plot kept students engaged,  and the use of the past tense added another layer of complexity to their comprehension.  We had lively discussions about the characters' motivations and the moral of the story."

Mr. Lopez, Illinois: "I always struggle to find culturally relevant materials for my heritage speaker class. El Cucuy was a perfect fit!  It exposed them to a lesser-known folktale while allowing them to practice their conversation and analytical skills in Spanish.  They even debated the existence of El Cucuy, leading to a fascinating exploration of cultural beliefs and practices."
