REALIDADES is a standards-based Spanish curriculum that balances grammar and communication. The program offers technology designed to integrate language and culture to teach and motivate all students.
This is my first year using this textbook, but the supplemental materials are great. I can give grammar worksheets, play audio clips and give comprehension assignments, show a video and give recall assignments, and the book even has writing practice (for both English and Spanish), and art and culture activities. The ONLY negative aspect is that there ARE a few typos and incorrect answers given on the answer keys, and a couple on the Interactive Textbook review. But as a teacher, you should be able to point those out to your students and make the correction. No big deal. As someone mentioned before, no textbook can make up for a poor teacher, but a good teacher can really find a lot to do with this book. I give it a thumbs up.
Great!

I have used this textbook for two years with my level 1 students, and I have enjoyed it. The book focuses on communication which has real world application. In addition, there are a lot of teacher resources available that add extra grammar practice.
