Are your upper grade students learning Spanish for the first time?
Rather than starting with the earliest levels (which are designed for younger students), we suggest beginning with Level E. Many of our workbook activities are adaptable to different degrees of proficiency, allowing you to meet students where they are. Additionally, you can always print workbook pages from earlier levels with your Membership Site subscription, which will provide extra support to your students as they strengthen their knowledge of foundational concepts.
