ABOUT:

EL MUNDO EN TUS MANOS is a weekly publication that provides comprehensible news summaries from Spanish speaking countries to students. The target reader for this publication is a student in his or her first or second year of Spanish. A second, very slightly expanded version is provided without footnotes for intermediate readers.

ABOUT THE SUBSCRIPTION:

This product is available for purchase so that teachers can put it in their budget requests for the 2016-2017 school year. Remember that you or your school needs to purchase a separate license for each teacher that plans to use these stories in their classes (5 teachers = 1 full price subscription + 4 half price licenses). 

Comprehension questions and activities are not included with the weekly articles. However, several teachers write questions each week and share them in the Drive folder that is linked within the product file. The questions are usually available mid-week. I recommend using these articles as free reading material for your students, and you can read this blog post for more ideas about how to use the articles regularly in class.

ARCHIVED EL MUNDO EN TUS MANOS NEWS SUMMARIES FROM THE COMPREHENSIBLE CLASSROOM:

  • This is my go to "newspaper" for students to read about current events. I love that it's in different levels. Gracias.

    N S
  • I love this resource for many reasons. My top two reasons are: 1. It is a comprehensive reading activity. Because it is leveled, I can use it with all my students Spanish 1-AP. 2. It is typically high interest, relevant and fun.

    Lisa H.
  • As always, great resource for the Spanish classroom. I teach Heritage and Native Spanish speakers, and it provides a wonderful opportunity to highlight and discuss current events relevant to the Spanish Speaking World.

    Leonor B.
  • This is such a great resource. It is so important to keep up to date with world news and to do it in Spanish is such an asset. My students are able to read and understand using the vocabulary provided. The worksheets are great as well.

    Liliana P.
  • This is an excellent resource to use in the classroom and have students discuss and be aware of Spanish Speaking Countries current events. Very informative and the articles and activities are engaging.

    Ana V.
  • I love to use EMETM when I know that I will not be in the classroom. Students read articles, and the next day we have discussions that reveal how much they understood. It's also a great way to keep reminding them about all of the happenings around the world that they never hear about otherwise.

    Amy B.
  • Love the tiered reading for my students. They enjoyed reading these articles and discussing what they learned and their opinions about the articles. This was also a great supplement to my FVR.

    Ada M.
  • I love this resource! I can use it in so many ways. It is good for current events, fvr, choice reading and as a supplement to the thematic units my school uses.

    Leigh M.
  • I always buy this resource for my heritage students that are mixed in my regular classes. Thanks for creating it!

    Vero Cross
  • My students eat these up! Love the links to the authentic resources too!

    Kate Chan
  • Have used these news articles every year with all levels of classes to help students learn about current events around the world.

    Jennifer H.
  • This is my favorite resource for weekly reading about current events. I love that there are now (in the past few years) activities to go along with the news stories. I will let this be a once-a-week reading activity... so we will focus on a couple of articles one week and the others the next.

     

    Ruth Stimart
  • I can't say enough about El Mundo en Tus Manos- my students and I love it! I'm looking forward to diving into timely culture again this year!

    Alyssa L.
  • Comprehensible Classroom creates excellent resources here for covering current events. I appreciate that their are multiple levels each week so you can truly utilize these articles in all your levels, and there are accompanying activities as well. I use these routinely with heritage learners at the middle school level and in regular Spanish classes at the high school level.

    Zoe Witzeling
  • I LOVE THESE ARTICLES!! They are all very engaging and are great to use in so many ways in my class. They really help my students with their reading skills and also are great authentic resources!

    Kimberly S.
