Boringly interesting

I like the stories, but they’re not in color. It’s all black and white.

Tumba Spanish Novel

Tumba is the first Spanish novel I am using with my classes ever. We are several chapters in and the students are doing so well! The book sets my students up for success and I am so happy I was able to get this text to use with my students.

High interest

The theme of this book is really engaging my 8th graders. They enjoy the characters and it is well written with cognates and a complete glossary, which I appreciate. I am new to teaching with novels and I plan to use this book again.

A+++++ I have been buying from Teacher's Discovery for years. I love this reading! We follow along in class using the document camera and the listening. It is challenging yet easy enough for the students to comprehend. The activities really help the students stay on task. I highly recommend.
