I love helping world language teachers with fresh ideas and resources that make language acquisition enjoyable in their classrooms!
Please tell me I’m not the only one 😂🤣
What do you call this student in your classroom?
Sound Effects Reading is one of my favorite ways to make storytime more interactive while keeping the focus on comprehension.
As I read, students listen carefully to the story and create sound effects based on what they understand. I don’t assign the sounds or tell them when to make them. Their responses come from the meaning they are making from the story.
A few tips if you’d like to try it:
📚 Start with a familiar story.
🤫 Use a quiet signal to reset attention.
🔊 Let students create their own sound effects.
✨ Focus on understanding, not accuracy.
🎭 Join in and have fun!
Sometimes the best evidence of comprehension isn’t a correct answer, it’s the perfect sound effect at the perfect moment.
Save this idea for your next story lesson!

One of the biggest shifts in my teaching happened when I stopped asking: how can we teach this vocabulary? And started asking: how can I make this la gauge meaningful and understandable for my students?
That change led me to use stories, visuals, gestures and literacy activities. My students didn’t need more vocabulary lists, they needed more opportunities to connect language to meaning.
If you are for story-based resources that help students to acquire Spanish as a second language, and are engaging and comprehensible for novice learners, I’d love for you to try

Mis estudiantes aman este descanso mental que no requiere planeación y es súper divertido.
¿Qué te parece?
Al inicio de cada mes, escribo en el calendario los estudiantes que cumplen años en el calendario de de la clase.
El día del cumpleaños el estudiante elige un animal de la canasta, cantamos la canción y puede usar una pulsera durante toda la clase como forma de celebración.🤩
