Listo y Llamativo: A Complete Spanish 1, 2 & 3 Curriculum for the Whole Year

by Jessica Hall, creator of Miss Señorita and Listo y Llamativo

Listo y Llamativo is a full-year Spanish 1, 2, and 3 curriculum for middle and high school teachers, with daily lesson plans that connect explicit vocabulary and grammar instruction to speaking, listening, reading, and writing practice. 

It includes unit plans, a full-year pacing guide, and coordinated materials for teaching and practice. All 3 levels are available separately or in combination.

Have you ever sat down to plan tomorrow's Spanish lesson and thought, "I KNOW I have something for this."

You check Google Drive, TpT, and a folder you haven't opened in 3 years. 😂 You find an activity, but you still need the lesson, bell work, and enough practice to make it all fit together.

You probably don't need more Spanish resources. You need a plan for how all those pieces fit together.

That's exactly why I created Listo y Llamativo.

What is Listo y Llamativo?

Listo y Llamativo is my complete, ready-to-teach Spanish 1-3 curriculum for middle and high school Spanish teachers. 

Each level includes everything you need bell-to-bell with explicit vocabulary and grammar instruction connected to listening, speaking, reading, and writing practice.

The curriculum is already planned and sequenced for you. You know what you're teaching today, what comes tomorrow, and how today's vocabulary and grammar build on what students have already learned.

So instead of sitting down after school and asking, "Okay. What am I teaching tomorrow?" you can open an existing lesson and ask, "Okay. What do I want to change for my students?"

Those are two VERY different kinds of lesson planning.

What do you actually get inside Listo y Llamativo?

You can join Listo y Llamativo for Spanish 1, Spanish 2, Spanish 3, or a combination of levels.

Each level gives you an entire school year's worth of curriculum, with the pieces of your lessons already designed to work together.

That includes:

👉 A full-year pacing guide, so you know what to teach and in what order

👉 Ready-to-teach daily lessons, so tomorrow's lesson isn't another project waiting for you after school

👉 Bell work, so students have a predictable way to start class

👉 Teaching PowerPoints and materials, so you aren't building presentations from scratch every night

👉 Classwork with listening, speaking, reading, and writing practice, so students have time to actually use what you're teaching

👉 Exit tickets, so you can see what students understood without creating another thing to grade

👉 Homework, quizzes, projects, and assessments, so you're not separately piecing those together either

👉 Paper and digital resources, so you have options for how you actually run your classroom

The curriculum also includes unit plans, vocabulary and grammar lists, pacing support, and additional resources to help you see how everything fits together across the year.

The goal isn't to give you more stuff. You already have stuff. The goal is to give you a plan you can actually teach from.

For example, in a Spanish 1 lesson on present tense AR verbs, students start with bell work reviewing vocabulary they already know. The PowerPoint introduces the verb endings, and the classwork gives students practice using those same verbs in sentences and speaking with a partner. The exit ticket checks whether they can use the forms you just taught. You’re not finding four separate resources and hoping they work together. Each part builds toward the same lesson goal.

Can you adjust the lessons and pacing inside Listo y Llamativo?

Yes. You can adjust the pacing, change activities, and adapt Listo y Llamativo lessons for your students. The curriculum gives you a plan to work from without requiring you to follow a script.

Listo y Llamativo gives you the plan. You still get to be the teacher.

You can slow down when students need another day. Skip something. Move something. Swap in an activity you already love. Spend longer on a topic. Adjust a lesson for a weird schedule.

You know your students. You know your school. You know when third period absolutely cannot handle what first period handled beautifully. 🙃

Having a curriculum doesn't take those decisions away from you. It takes away all the decisions you shouldn't have to keep remaking.

What comes next? How am I going to introduce this? What should students do for practice? How does this connect to what we did yesterday? What should I teach after this?

A strong curriculum isn't restrictive. It's a starting point.

And starting from an existing plan is a whole lot easier than starting from a blank page.

What teachers say about planning with Listo y Llamativo

Sarah told me:
"This is worth more than I ever could have imagined! I basically just tweak the materials, which takes a few minutes, rather than spending hours working on lesson plans. The scope and sequence of the units is logical and easy to follow, and the lessons are well designed. I haven't stayed up late once this year working!"

THAT. 😍 That's what I want Listo y Llamativo to change.

Not whether you can find one more cute activity for tomorrow, but how much of your life teaching gets to take up.

Cassandra told me:
"Everything about Listo y Llamativo has saved me time. No worries about creating answer keys? CHECK. Not having to create alternative versions of tests? CHECK. Having fun, meaningful projects? CHECK. Really, this has EVERYTHING you need!"

And Kristyn specifically liked the sequence and manageable amount of new vocabulary:
"I really like the order of topics and grammar introduced as well as how there's not a tremendous amount of vocab introduced all at one time. Thus, the work and vocab are quite manageable."

Those are the kinds of things I care about.

Structure. Scaffolding. Manageable pacing. Lessons that actually connect to each other.

Because you shouldn't have to choose between having effective lessons and having a life after school.

Is Listo y Llamativo right for you?

Listo y Llamativo is probably a great fit if:
✅ You teach Spanish 1, 2, or 3
✅ You teach middle or high school
✅ Your students are primarily native English speakers
✅ You use vocabulary in context with some explicit grammar instruction
✅ You want students practicing listening, speaking, reading, and writing
✅ You want a clear, repeatable structure instead of constantly piecing lessons together
✅ You want the flexibility to make changes without having to build the entire curriculum yourself

❌ It is probably not the best fit if you primarily teach elementary Spanish, heritage speakers, classes that only meet once or twice per week, or primarily use CI or TPRS approaches.

And I think that's important to say. I don't want Listo y Llamativo to be the curriculum for every Spanish teacher on earth. I want it to be REALLY useful for the teachers it was actually built for.

Can you preview the lessons before joining? 

PLEASE DO. 😂

You should not have to buy an entire curriculum based on me repeatedly telling you how great I think it is.

I've put together a free preview so you can look through the actual materials and decide for yourself.

You can see:
👉 the first week of Spanish 1
👉 the first week of Spanish 2
👉 the first week of Spanish 3
👉 a video walkthrough of the curriculum

Look at the PowerPoints. Look at the classwork. Look at the pacing. Look at how the lessons are structured.

And ask yourself the question that actually matters, "Would I use this in my classroom?"

Why I created Listo y Llamativo

My first year of teaching, I was the only foreign language teacher in my building. The school handed me a textbook and basically said, good luck. 🙃

I created everything. Bell work. PowerPoints. Classwork. Exit tickets. Homework. Assessments. 

I spent hours making materials, but when students asked me, "What are we doing tomorrow?" I didn't always know. I was trying to stay one day ahead.

What helped was saving what worked, taking notes on pacing, and building lessons that connected to each other. Eventually I had a curriculum I could reuse and adjust instead of rebuilding every day. That became Listo y Llamativo.

Ready to stop figuring out what you're teaching every day?

You do not need another folder full of activities. You need to know what comes next. That's what I built Listo y Llamativo to give you.

A full-year Spanish 1, 2, and 3 curriculum with the sequence, lessons, activities, and assessments already planned, so you can spend less time building lessons and more time actually teaching them.
