Today I’m at the Professional Language Association of Nevada’s fall conference with my PLC People and I’m excited to present to my fellow Nevadans. If you’re here at the conference (or if you wish you were here at the conference!) here are my slideshows with links to everything!
What is CI? Why should I care? And how do I do it?!
Input games: Let’s play
And…. I have a little give away for you too! I’ve been blessed to get a bunch of new titles in my Free Reading Library lately, which I’ve been devouring during our Free Reading time every class. I’ve just finished two books that I absolutely LOVED! Have you read:
Caras vemos
Gritos en Granada 
Want to add these books to your library?! I’m feeling generous because you’ve been generously buying from my Amazon Associate links! Thank you! Leave me a message below with your favorite Free Reading titles in your library! I’ll pick 2 random comments on September 20th, at 8:00 pm Pacific Time, and I’ll send you an email to get your mailing address…the Amazon elves will take care of the rest!
And if you’re feeling left out because you only teach Spanish 1 and you really want to win but those books would not be comprehensible for your little darlings, we’ll add these to the give away:
MIldred quiere un novio!
Señora Chase 
I think my favorite books in my library are “Las apariencias engañan” and its sequel “El armario”.
My upper level students love them – they’re the kind they don’t want to put down!
Sooo generous of you to give these books to a lucky winner! I’ve been building my FVR library over the past couple of years, and I’m so excited that now my colleagues are sold on the idea, too, and starting to collect books and find funding!

Favorite Spanish 3 and above is Vids o muerte en la marasalvatrucha. For 4th for sure La Guerra sucia. I love the themes and insights of these books. I seriously need more upper level books!

So far Sr. Wooly graphic novels BYLB and LCDLD are favorites with my students. In addition, El Ratón Pablito is popular because of the images. See: https://fluencymatters.com/product/el-raton-pablito-reader/
Anything with images is a hit with my middle schoolers!

Thank you so much for all the awesome ideas awesome ideas you share on you blog!
I got my school to buy a Fluency Matters starter pack last year, but I’ve been starting to slowly add new books this year so my returning students have something new to read. I really like Casa Dividida- it was my first novel unit that I tried out, and I definitely learned a lot from it too! My students last year loved the Brandon Brown books for silent reading time.

I just left a suburban school with a huge FVR library for an urban school with nothing but a class set of Porbre Ana Moderna. I “look forward” to finding funds to purchase “Bart Quiere un Perro” Felipe Alou, Vidas impactantes, Señor Wooly Graphic Organizers, y Hija de Sastre to name of few of the favorites from my old school. Keep writing and sharing ideas, they are working their way up to Northern Minnesota!!

My Spanish 2 students ADORE Edi el elefante. I know it is easy, but I think that’s why they love it so much! I had to borrow more from the other Spanish teacher so more of them could read it! Another that they love is El ratón Pablito. I think the images just pull them into the story!

Hello!
I’ve read “Bart quiere un gato” and I love that the readers can choose the way the story goes! My kiddos really like that title as well. Papacito would probably have to be my second favorite since the boys and girls get a kick out of Valeria!
Thank you for this giveaway and your awesome blog!

Thank you for all of your amazing advice! If it weren’t for you and all your awesomeness, I’d still be using my textbook and not know a thing about CI!
I just started FVR with my kiddos this year and it’s going well so far! I just read “Todo lo que brilla” and I really enjoyed it!

Unfortunately I am just starting to seek funding for a new FVR library in my Spanish 1 classroom after reading about it this summer! I’d love to win a few new books to add!

Hola Senora Chase
This is my first year teaching Spanish 1. So far its been going great, but I have no library. It would be awesome to have a starter book to read with my kiddos! Also thank you for all of your amazing ideas that you have shared.

Thank you for all you do Senora Chase! I love your blog posts they always seem so timely! I loved El Escape and my students love anything by Craig Klein Dexemple – especially el raton pablito and papacito they laugh out loud and appreciate an easier read available to them.
