If you are looking for a fun AND compelling story for your class, but can’t think of one, you’re in luck. Scholastic en español publishes the Fly Guy series in Spanish and boy, are these books great for storytelling and acting out in class.

I typically don’t use a lot of (if any) children’s books in my class, because a lot of them are not comprehensible for my students. However, this series is written and illustrated in a manner that is would be appropriate for early level classes. And if you do it as a class story, you can make it 100% comprehensible.

I first checked out the book Hombre Mosca y Frankenmosca  from my local library and loved it so much I bought my own copy and plan to use it as a story during Halloween time. This story is perfect for beginning level students because it is so simple, yet engaging for even middle schoolers and high schoolers as you act the story out in class.

Hombre Mosca y Frankenmosca (Spanish Edition)

After reading it, add it to your FVR Reading Library and let students read it on their own. If you don’t do it as a class story, you can still add it to your library and I guarantee your students will pick up this series. Most of it is pretty comprehensible, especially with the aide of the pictures, but you can always use a Post-It Arrow Note to write the definition of a word on the page. This is a great way to differentiate and provided support for your students without writing in the actual book.
