This is a really good opportunity for anyone who has thought about writing their own CI Novel. $20 off registration to the CI-Reboot and live help from two published authors of CI Novels.

Have you ever wanted to write a CI novel but not know where to start? Written a draft but feel overwhelmed by the logistics of publishing? Or maybe you’re tired of wasting your precious prep time to write a comprehensible reading only to have students complain that it’s boring.

I believe all of us have a story worth telling — and I want to help you tell it.

So, I’m excited to share with you a new webinar opportunity.

I’m partnering with Karen Rowan and CI Reboot to put together the bundle of author resources I wish I would have had when I started.

When you register for CI Reboot with the code Novels2026, you’ll get:

A Private Small-Group Webinar with me on June 15th at 4:30pm EST — limited to 10 people. This isn’t a presentation. Bring your questions, your half-formed ideas, and your doubts. We’ll work through them together. If it gets quiet, I have plenty of tricks to share like my 7-sentence story and favorite formula for character development (the one I used to create Churro and Monster)
My FVR Fundraising Guide: How to Get $1,000 of Free Books for Your Classroom Every Year.
Bonus recorded webinars from Karen Rowan, Bill Van Patten, and Carla Tarini — They cover topics like how to be compelling and comprehensible, writing with writing groups, the logistics of publishing, and more.
Plus, $20 off conference registration.
I’ve spent my career teaching Level 1 and exploratory Spanish, and I specialize in writing compelling stories with very limited vocabulary. I’ve published 17 CI books, including 13 in my Confidence Readers collection — designed to be the easiest CI books your students can pick up and actually read independently.

Whether you want to publish your own novel or just write better stories for your own students, these bonuses are for you.

We have built an independent reading package for adult Spanish learners following our last Beginning class and in preparation for the next one.
This is the next class:
https://fluencyfast.com/product/2026-beginning-spanish-mini-course/

This is the book for the next class that comes with the class (but you have to have it shipped to you):
https://cpli.net/products/rostros-y-ecos-by-theresa-jensen

And here are the two reading packages we built -- in order of difficulty -- for true beginners and late / false beginnings to rapidly expand your vocabulary. The object is to read 100-150 pages per week, which studies have shown are the amount of reading necessary to jump a level. If that's your goal -- to improve dormant (I took Spanish in high school but...) or if you are in our classes and want to jump from beginning to our next intermediate class in the Fall, these are easy pleasure reading at the beginning level to broaden your vocabulary and it's a curated collection of books we really like.

True Beginner Package: $73.15 for 8 books (5% off)
https://cpli.net/products/true-beginner-spanish-readers

Late Beginner / False Beginner package: $66.74 for 7 books (5% off)

Attached are the images and videos I made so you can see the inside of each book and decide which one fits your level best.

Whether or not you take the next class, keep us posted on your progress. If you want to keep personal track of your progress note how many times you use the glossary in each book and if you use it less as you progress through the series of books and keep a running tally.

Lower your standards for video quality. ;-) I made a video for my own students and am sharing it. -- Karen Rowan
