Not only has SOMOS curriculum proven to maintain my kiddos engaged, but their ACQUISITION has gone through the roof in comparison to my old ways. Love them!

This was a fun one to do either students! Great for making personal connections! Students asked to write their own scary stories after reading.

Great unit by the Comprehensible Classroom. Buy this if you're looking to engage your students through comprehensible input (CI). My students loved the sticky note bar graph and always enjoy the song activity with a cloze passage to target specific vocabulary.

My students LOVED this unit! It was so fun to see their reactions to the stories, and I even heard them making jokes towards each other that "El Cucuy" was going to get them. Very engaging and I saw a big jump in their proficiency.

Didn't expect my students to enjoy the cucuy story so much, but they did! This unit brought up interesting conversations regarding fears, etc.
