Abstract: The presenters will showcase web-based self-contained learning materials designed for use by Spanish teachers in the classroom, or independently by students to increase their skill in reading comprehension. The focus of the presentation is to demonstrate the usefulness of these Spanish lessons as part of a learning plan in the classroom. Each lesson contains specific reading activities complemented by extended feedback; cultural notes and background information, aimed at helping the learner cope with the challenges of the text. All these components are oriented to achieve a specific functional or linguistic feature. It is easy, fast, convenient, and ready to use!
