Welcome to Cuentos y Lecturas™!
This is the home of an exciting new TPRS® book series that's currently under development and I want to hear from you, both teachers and students!
I want to know what you think, what you want, what's important to you, and what's not.
We've all complained that textbook writers/publishers either have never been in the classroom or haven't in a very long time and have little idea what a modern textbook, let alone a TPRS® textbook, should look like in our classrooms of today.
Here's your chance to let me know what you're thinking so that I can make one of the best TPRS® textbooks available.
Go to the forums and express your opinion on any of the topics. If you don't see a topic you like, go ahead and add it. The more dialogue, the better the end-result will be!
Also, if you're currently a TPRS® teacher, please let us know which series you are using or if you're writing your own stories.
What ever your involvement, stop by frequently as the site and the book grows. There will be sample pages and stories, and example activities as the project develops.
Feel free to contact me with any comments or suggestions!
¡Gracias!

Dear Scott,
I think that if your series looks more 'textbookish' it will help those of us with skeptical or unsupportive or 'unwilling to take a look' colleagues. First of all, we could not only use your materials with confidence but perhaps more easily 'win' some of them over to the tprs method. Secondly, if you think back to your pre-tprs days or just poll teachers who don't use this method and ask, "what do you really like about your textbook?" maybe you could somehow include some of those aspects in your textbook series. One of the reasons that I say this is because we just had a departmental meeting at the high school where I teach. I NEVER use the workbooks that come with the French or Spanish texts that the students HAD to buy. I spoke to another teacher to see if she uses them & she said, "Only because they had to purchase them." So we (even though she doesn't teach tprs) thought having the kids purchase a novel would go further, and we went into our meeting to discuss this and our idea was immediately shot down by the veteran teachers.
I love tprs - this is my first year & yet I have felt that some of the 'wide openness' or 'looseness' of the available materials have left me with tons to do on my feet while trying to embrace tprs. I ended up using Jalen Walman's materials this year & I really liked them. She includes some graphic organizers, blank storyboards, and alot of other instructional, practical and yet fun activities and ideas in her materials that help the whole class (and me).
I hope these suggestions help!
