Somos 1 Novice is a comprehensive, acquisition-driven Spanish curriculum designed for the first two years of instruction. Rooted in Comprehension-Based Communicative Language Teaching (CCLT), the program immerses students in meaningful, comprehensible input through stories, cultural explorations, and interactive class discussions. Each unit integrates high-frequency language, authentic resources, and performance-based assessments to build proficiency in interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational communication. Cultural content highlights diverse perspectives from the Spanish-speaking world while fostering global awareness, empathy, and connection. Somos 1 Novice supports teachers with flexible, fully digital materials and clear instructional routines that promote an inclusive, engaging, and proficiency-focused learning environment aligned to state and national standards.

Somos 1 Novice is sold as a per-teacher license rather than a per-student subscription or textbook purchase. Each teacher who will use the materials purchases their own license, which grants them perpetual rights to use the curriculum in their classroom f
