Give beginning learners an engaging **Spanish comprehensible input reading** with a funny, memorable problem: Estela’s very large dog keeps eating her homework. *Perro Grande* combines a short Spanish story, repeated target structures, video support, and ready-to-use comprehension activities.
Target structures: él ha comido; ella pide; no le cree; estaba hambriento.
This beginning Spanish short story includes:
- An animated video with text
- A second illustrated video without text for retells
- A printable PDF story
- A comprehension-question worksheet
- A “Who said it?” worksheet
- A story-retell worksheet
- An answer key
The video runs just over five minutes and gives students time to read. Pause for discussion or story-asking, use the text-free version for oral retells, or build a parallel story. The resource is especially useful for novice-low and novice-mid learners, with easy extensions for novice-high classes and past-tense retelling at higher levels.
Use *Perro Grande* for reading, listening, speaking, and story-retell practice in one flexible comprehensible-input lesson.
