Srta. Spanish makes such wonderful products and they are consistently a favorite in my room. This resources has been a great supplement for my district’s unit on La Escuela. We have older textbooks (obsolete, really) so the resources with the textbook are very dated. This resource from Srta. Spanish is updated, comprehensible, and has so many great activities with it. My students love it and all directions are always easy to understand.

Great readings so that I can use it in game-like activities. It is nice to have a pre-made reading or descriptions. I need to remember to work on time with students before this activity though!
L B –
Lovvvve this resource and others like it! Print, tape around your classroom, and have students do a scavenger hunt for answers. Differentiation is built right in with the Spanish and English options. The extension is great for early finishers or homework. Thank you so much!

The first time I used this resource, several students said we should do stuff like this all the time. It was easy to use and students got a lot of movement and a lot of reading practice. Totally worth it.

I used this with my Spanish students on parents day and they loved wandering around the classroom and hallway and solving this!

Great way to get the students up and moving!

great activities
Altagracia P. –
An interesting and valuable resource.
Grisell Abad –
It was a fun and easy activity for my students.
Janna S. –
I can’t rave enough about how great this was! We didn’t use the Boom cards, but I might use that later. We did the gallery walk paper version , and they used a two sided worksheet that’s included and I copied off. I used the English version of “find someone who….” For my Spanish 1s and the Spanish version for Spanish 2s. Then the back of the worksheet had the part where they could tweak the sentences to be about them…. Perfect scaffolding. I think the kids felt successful or I did for them that they were reading and understanding whole paragraphs In Spanish! And it went along with our content perfectly! The digital slides I was able to easily post in Google classroom for absent kids. A++++++++
Cositas de Cristina –
Great activity! Thank you!
Sally M. –
I printed these and then hung them up in the hallway spaced out. Students paired up and moved around trying to complete their scavenger hunt. Most of them successfully completed it within 15-20 minutes. I gave my more advanced students the Spanish version of the hunt. Thanks for giving us the 2 options.
Erin Sanislo –
These readings were very accessible to students and I loved that there was additional work on the back side – it took a nice amount of time!

Hi Beth! I had responded to your Q&A here on TPT, as well as your comment on Boom Learning to try and help you with this, asking for you to email me so we could discuss in-depth and did not receive a response. I’d love to hear more from you on this. My email is ashley@srtaspanish.com and I look forward to hearing from you!
leeann G. –
I love gallery walks! And, this one didn’t disappoint. Was a great vocabulary review for a school theme type of unit.
Patricia M. –
I loved the readings. I gave different sets to my students. I did a guided reading activity, they underlined words that they easily reconize, looked for cognates, and got the main idea if their passages.
The picturees/drawimgs also helped them to understand the descrition of the person they were reading sbout. I really liked this set.
LuzMaria A. –
My students are loving this as a review and practicing reading comprehension.

Spanish Scholastic –
This was great CI for my level 1’s as we worked through school vocab.
SraDebbieB –
I used these to provide students with comprehensible readings. We use them to read together and also for comprehension tests. They work really well and help me to circle back to previous material. I have a couple of similar sets. I do wish this one had a version of each reading without the footnotes, in addition to the version with footnotes, like some of the others do.
Ashley J. –
My students loved these readings! We are new into the school unit, and even after reading one text, students felt so confident in themselves! Looking forward to continue using this resource for other activities.

I am excited to use this material for the second year. My students loved the descriptions and following these examples a couple of students created their own descriptive paragraphs. More material to use in class this year!
Michele M. –
I like this resource. I had my students read about two of the characters and do a Venn Diagram comparing the two characters. Then I had them choose one of the characters to compare and contrast with themselves. It worked really well. I plan to use this resource in various other ways in the future. I am glad I bought it!
Christina S. –
These are great comprehensible reading about the school and school schedules. Great resource!
Stephanie M. –
I love these readings! I also love that you can differentiate as the seller provides a few different options for the readings,
Johanna R. –
¡Estoy muy feliz! I cannot say enough how excited I was to find this resource! It AMAZINLGY had literally everything I was trying to create on my own for a project about horarios. I absolutely LOVE that there are so many opportunities for comprehensible input and the work is scaffolded to bring students to the final pages of writing their own sentences. Literally this resource was in my mind but I was having trouble putting it down on paper, so to speak. I was concerned that the sheer number of slides would scare my students but we went over the expectations together and I felt this would be a better assessment than a test! Hyper-satisfied, if that’s a word:)
jennifer W. –
I love how user friendly these readings are and the fact that I can do so many different lessons with them.

Perfect length readings!
Helena W. –
I use this resource with my students during Learn from home. They had to translate the material and because of the variety, I was able to assign different classes, different sets of translations. After they were done I had them create a personal schedule following the example worksheet. Once that was done they recorded themselves on Flipgrid to practice saying the vocabulary. Gracias
Srta Metcalf’s Spanish –
Excellent reading practice! Kids loved it!
Wendy M. –

Lisa M. –
great reading to assign with comprehension questions- perfect length and great support built in
Laura Shible –
I have used this kind of activity before with great success. When we started covering school, I was excited to put this info practice. I printed out the biographies, made copies of the “Look for someone who…” activity and then my school suddenly shut down. I was able to send some copies to my students who have no internet, and later used the readings as a way to engage with my students on Google Docs. Thanks for such a fun and engaging resource!

The vocabulary for each person varied, but each of the cards had similar grammar structures. This was so successful in my class! I had students work in groups to translate each “profile”, and turned it into a speaking activity, while I displayed their character on the Smartboard, for the class to follow along. Great resource!
