What do teachers say about this resource? (4975)

Absolutely fantastic, a very comprehensive resource, with excellent structure and a great variety of tasks... It enables students to comprehend a text fully by working on different lexical and grammatical levels and takes it further by encouraging the student to do some writing of their own, very well scaffolded.

This resource will be a welcome addition to the resources of any teacher of A2 Spanish, be it Welsh Board or OCR or AQA or Edexcel, as it provides a wealth of reading material across the A2 topics of social matters, multicultural society and environment, as well as Cultural Topics like film, artists and geographical areas. I like the way in which the author has provided ample opportunity to extend vocabulary, with synonyms and definitions, then moves on to practice the type of exercises that commonly occur at this level, notably pairing parts of sentences, true/false statements, translation and grammar.
