  1. Kelly M. –

    I absolutely love these reading activities for my lower-level Spanish learners. There are vocabulary supports that allow all students to feel successful reading in Spanish. I typically tape them around the room to get the students up and moving around. I think I have purchased every set of these reading activities, and my only regret is that I didn’t buy the bundle from the start.

  2. Gabriela M. –

    I really liked this activity, it not only talks about likes and dislikes but students get to practice introductions and descriptions as well. My students enjoyed this activity because they were able to apply previous knowledge and made it easier for them to comprehend the reading.

  3. Megan S. –

    This resource was great to use with my students. Would purchase from this shop again

  4. We Can Do This –

    This is a very useful resource. My students have enjoyed using it. Thank you!

  5. Amanda O. –

    I have a few of these reading passage sets, and I love them all. They might actually be my favorite TPT purchases for my Spanish classes. They’re written at just the right level to help build the students confidence in reading Spanish, and include footnotes with translations for any words that we might not have covered yet. The students are always shocked that they actually understand what the passages say.

    • Ashley Mikkelsen –

      That makes me so happy to hear!! If you bump into a topic you need that I don’t have, feel free to shoot me an email or drop me a Q&A on my store. I love making these!

  6. Pilar R. –

    Great activity for group engagement! Students help each other to find the answers.

  7. Enrique R. –

    Great Resource! The students worked with a partner and the lesson went well.

  8. Sarah P. –

    Great resource for getting students engaged in reading about pass times and their favorite activities!

  9. Red Apple Studio –

    These passages are perfect for beginners. They use a lot of cognates and have an illustration to go with each story. I like that the comprehension piece is in Google Drive or Boom Cards.

  10. Speak Spanish Today –

    This material helped my beginner students practice comprehension and vocabulary, as well as the verb ‘gustar’. Thanks!

  11. Dora G. –

    Great activity to share and learn the pasatiempos in the classroom.

  12. Amanda S. –

    Great resource for middle school students. Thank you!

  13. MEREDITH P. –

    I did a gallery walk with these readings, and the students were engaged! The students worked with a partner and the lesson went well. Saved me a lot of time. Grateful to have this resource.

  14. Profe Padilla –

    These passages were the perfect level to learn the skill in level one and review in level 2.

  15. Feliz Language Learning –

    This was a fun and engaging resource to help my Spanish I students understand how to use gustar and indirect object pronouns.

  16. Sara J. –

    I loved this resource! the drag and drop feature to answer questions was a nice change of pace. easy to do some of them as a class, then some in partners, then the rest as homework.

  17. Linda G. –

    I used this as a review in class before taking an assessment. My students were able to complete the activities and it was engaging for them.

  18. Kristen P. –

    Great resource, and my students were very engaged

  19. Amanda L. –

    This activity was perfect for lots of comprehensible input. I have my students read the texts in Spanish but then do the questions in English so they can’t just look for key words in Spanish and then copy – they have to do a little more thinking. Gave students the option of getting up and walking around the room to read or working on their computers digitally.

  20. Profesor Rey –

    The activity met our standards for quality and engagement, providing a meaningful learning experience for my students. They loved participating in it, and it made the material more accessible and fun!

  21. Señora Lila –

    Thank you so much! This was a huge time-saver! I liked how the students were challenged but not overwhelmed with reading.

  22. Blableblip S. –

    Tuve una clase muy divertidas, los alumnos leyeron, se movieron y contestaron preguntas.

  23. Ana B. –

    I love this resource; it has many ways to use it, and my students love it.

  24. Susan M. –

    I use this as a gallery walk with 8th graders. They always seem apprehensive at the idea of reading and understanding “so much” Spanish, BUT once they get going, it is so awesome to see them read, use the notes at the bottom, consult with friend, and figure it out! I love this activity! Such a great addition!

  25. FCA F. –

    Students enjoyed this activity. Very easy to print and use in class or with small groups.

  26. Jennifer F. –

    Excellent resource to get students moving and interacting with each other!! Will use again in novice classes in the future 🙂

  27. World Language Garden –

    I used this as a sub plan and then a review and then to help the students write about themselves. This is a verstile resource with so many options!

  28. Anne R. –

    This was a good resource to incorporate in class. The students were able to read, understand, and answer questions.

  29. Eliana U. –

    This was a great resource for practicing pastime vocabulary and the verb gustar! It was the right level for my Spanish 1 students and they were able to complete it even without knowing all of the vocabulary. I really like that it gets students up and moving.

  30. Robin Y. –

    My students enjoyed this activity. They were happy to see how much Spanish they could understand. They were engaged the entire time trying to find the correct answers.

  31. Katie L. –

    My students loved this activity! It made the list of favorites when I surveyed them at the end of the semester. The readings were fun and engaging and my students loved reading them as part of the scavenger hunt. Definitely recommend!

  32. carmela M. –

    My students loved using this resource. They understood directions clearly and reinforce the understanding of this grammar topic with ease and fun.

  33. Ciara A. –

    Perfect for extra practice before an assessment or activities for a sub.

  34. Leopard’s labor –

    I used these in a gallery walk activity. The students enjoyed it.

  35. Maria Elena G. –

    I love all the readings. Students enjoyed it and were able to comprehend the readings given the number of cognates. Great resource!

  36. Katherine M. –

    GREAT reading comprehension activity – easy, no-prep assignment that students were able to complete on their own!

  37. Lauren Smith –

    This was a great resource to help my students practice reading in the target language. I love that I can post these around the room and allow students opportunities to get up and move around. My favorite part was listening to students be surprised with themselves they were reading and understanding!

  38. Katie E. –

    This reading comprehension activity was a great way to get my students feeling successful with unfamiliar text within the context. I specifically used the google slides version. The true/false set up made it really easy to grade with a split screen.

  39. Araceli O. –

    It help me during distance learning. Students found it interested and easy to go from one slide to another.

  40. Andrea Holguin –

    students were very engaged in this activity!. it was easy to understand and students enjoyed it!

  41. Karry P. –

    I have this activity by Srta Spanish and the Gustar Printable story. They are both great and are reading comp activities. I like this one better in that the students are up and moving around tying to find the answers after reading all of the “stories”. This one is great for intro Spanish as it reviews much of what they learned in middle school (name, age, from, family words, activities) and the few activities that they don’t recognize sometimes have pictures or we just add them to our working vocab.

  42. Keila H. –

    My students love using this resource. Thank you!!!!

  43. Enlightened Estudiantes –

    Great resource to use to build reading fluency! Muchas Gracias!

  44. priscilla N. –

    Excellent resource and easy to use.

  45. Valerie Tejera –

    Great product!

  46. Lindsey G. –

    Organized beautifully as always – easy to read and follow up with

  47. Amy B. –

    Great stuff!

  48. Mary R. –

    These readings were perfect for my end-of-the-year Spanish 1 students. They pulled in topics the students have studied earlier in the year, such as age, self-introductions, present tense conjugation, family member names, days of the week, etc. My students could practice the skill of making good guesses from context and from words’ similary to English. Even students who don’t like to participate perked right up! I chose to use them as a reading packet, and first gave students time to try reading on their own, then we went over stories as a class. As I would put one of the these stories on the screen, students raised their hands, wanting a turn to try decoding each story. I could tell they felt proud of themselves that they were reading! Not too easy, not too hard! The worksheet that went with it was just right, too! Worth every penny of the price I paid!

  49. jocelyn F. –

    great resource!

  50. Liz W. –

    Used as a review and introduction to gustar. great for lab day

  51. Margaret C. –

    Great resource to use the pasatiempos vocabulary in context.

  52. Catherine W. –

    Great resource.

  53. Lauren B. –

    I posted these small readings in different places around my classroom. Students got to have a bit of a movement break and walk around trying to find the answers to the prompts. They seemed to really enjoy it and it was a fun way to get them to practice their reading skills.

  54. Sarah L. –

    I’ve used similar items from this TpT seller, and was very pleased. I will use these cards for a Gallery Walk when we study past times. Thank you

  55. Kellie A. –

    Students were able to understand and read the passages. The graphics are pleasant and engaging and the students participated and enjoyed the activities.

  56. Elizabeth B. –

    Amazing and comprehensible! This helped my students scaffold skills and feel successful. Thank you!

  57. Angie Trowbridge –

    A great way to get my students reading and moving – I put them up on the wall and send them around with a clipboard and answer sheet. They enjoy the movement, and I enjoy watching the student-driven activity where students choose how to collaborate as I circulate and help as needed!

  58. Lisa T. –

    Great readings!

  59. Diana Hudgens –

    This was a greta resource for my students to review GUSTAR and hobbies before their test

  61. Stacy Harrison Inc –

  62. Profe Avalos –

  64. Erin Sanislo –

    The gallery walk facilitated lots of collaboration and was a nice challenge for my students!

  65. Sarah Gaffney –

  66. Sarah W. –

    Thank you so much for providing a digital option along with the print. These readings were great to use with my hybrid classes!

  67. Nora K. –

  68. Sandra R. –

    Time-saving resource great for review.

  69. Karen P. –

    My students used this as a review activity at the end of the year. No prep for me and was great reading practice.

  70. Lovely Languages and Literature –

    I divided the readings to use as bell ringers with my students. Worked great, thank you!

  71. elizabeth F. –

    Great resource!

  72. Taylor Trevino –

    Used for both in-person and virtual students. Great resource!

  73. Just the Teaching –

    The resource is good as a whole. Sadly, I think my timing in using it is what is causing me to not fall in love with it. We are currently in “hybrid” learning- for my school that means concurrent instruction. Also, my students have iPads. Doing a split screen with a Google Slide show and a Notability document on an iPad makes this activity challenging. There are so many readings/slides (not complaining, I think this would be awesome as a real gallery walk) that it is overwhelming to novice learners in our current situation. If I had to do this activity over again, I would have modified it by doing one slide a day as a warmup for two days and then cutting the remaining slides into thirds. That would have been the perfect amount of work for where we are at and their attention span. I may try to backtrack a bit to salvage what I can of the resource for this year. I do truly look forward to using it again now that I am more familiar with things.

    • Ashley Mikkelsen –

      Hey Lauren! I agree that the digital version can be a bit overwhelming for novices. I’ve recently added another option to this resource that can be used for reading comprehension that I think will feel MUCH more manageable for novices. It would be great as a stand alone activity, or even if you use that first, and then try the readings and longer activities later on in a unit so they feel more comfortable with it, I think it will help a lot! Thank you for your feedback!

  74. Noemi S. –

    Loved this!

  75. Charissa F. –

    These readings are awesome! Lots of comprehensible input and the activity helps keep them focused. Haven’t had the opportunity to use the digital option yet, but it looks easy to implement!

  76. MARTA P. –

    Thank you, my students really enjoyed

  77. Stephanie M. –
