Authentic Materials Made Easy
Watch your students build interpretive skills using real-world examples
With Fresco, students explore the Spanish-speaking world through infographics, articles, fairy tales, music videos, songs, websites, news reports, ¡y mucho más!
| Exposure to meaningful input from Day 1: Students read, listen to, and watch content created by Spanish speakers, for Spanish speakers in a variety of formats on engaging and relevant topics. | ||
| Meaning-making using learning strategies: Students are guided to use context clues, background knowledge, inference, and other metacognitive strategies to construct meaning from authentic text and audio. | ||
| Tailored to students’ abilities: Scaffolding and carefully constructed questions guide learners to interact with the text in a way that is appropriate to their proficiency level and skills. | ||
| We’ve done the work for you!: Fresco includes carefully curated authentic materials that tie to lesson themes, along with activities that support interpretation. | ||
| DID YOU KNOW?: The Mango Reader extension makes it possible for learners to go beyond their comfort zone and engage with more advanced authentic materials found anywhere online. |
