"As a World Languages Resource Teacher, I have had an excellent experience with Wayside Publishing representatives. They are responsive and readily available to provide our teachers with curriculum and resource support. We have enjoyed our interactions with Wayside representatives when they attend our professional development events to support our district and our World Languages teachers."

"This is the only textbook series that incorporates comprehensible input strategies and has supports from Level 1 to prepare students for the AP® exam."

Cynthia

Spanish Teacher, Florida

"I teach Spanish 1 and 2 using EntreCulturas, and this is my third year using the program. All of the resources are very intuitive. It's easy for me to navigate the Learning Site and find resources that learners need for each lesson. It's easy for me to find the formative assessments, to assign them, and to adjust the attempts they [students] get to receive a passing grade."

Stephanie Shepard

"I can't write enough about how great EntreCultures is. I love that it has the themes and the essential questions from the AP®, starting in level one! It is so much more 'real' to have all the lessons in context, meaningful, relevant, connected, and correlated in a manner that gears students for higher-level thinking and learning. By the time they take AP®, they will be so prepared."
