Comprehensible Poetry for Spanish Students

Diego has several readers designed for language learners that use comprehensible poetry to address a variety of themes. Check out his video below where he introduces us to his latest book!

Su libro nuevo – Poesía gramatical

More of Diego’s poetry:

Corazón sin borrador emphasizes the themes of friendship and relationships. It’s best for levels 1 and 2.

Acuerdo Natural features poems about nature and earth (perfect for April and Earth Day!). Each poem is an invitation to keep loving and taking care of our environment. He recommends it for levels 2, 3, 4 and AP.

Nostalgia migrante is about the topics of immigration and emigration. Each poem reflects the author’s experience as an immigrant. Recommended levels: 2, 3, 4, AP and Heritage

Salida 8 is a combination of prose and poetry. It tells the story of Isaías, an immigrant who learns how to survive in the U.S. day by day. Isaías loves poetry and each chapter finishes with a poetic view of his experiences. This book was written by Jennifer Degenhardt and Diego Ojeda and is recommended for levels 1 and 2.

Sample Poem

Diego was kind enough to share one of his poems with me so I could share it here with you!

I love how clear it is. Your novices could easily understand it and pick up on the vocabulary they recognize and understand meaning. It could also turn into an extension writing activity with students creating their own lines to add for other subject areas. See more of his poetry here!
