Spanish 3 Summer Reading
Karigan-Winter
Queridos estudiantes,
I hope you’ve had a great year in Spanish, and I look forward to seeing you again in August! Expose yourself to as much
Spanish as you can this summer so that you stay in “Spanish mode!” That could be watching Spanish television, reading
poems (Pablo Neruda is awesome!), watching movies with/without subtitles, TALKING to native speakers and each
other in Spanish, listening to Spanish music (there’s so much good stuff out there!), etc.
Beyond that, I am asking that you review the material you learned in Spanish 2 from Realidades chapters “Para
Empezar” through 8 (minus Ch. 6) by visiting the book’s website below. We will have a review quiz over all of this
material the first week we return to school.

(You should have this page already saved as a favorite on your computer, but if you don’t, it would probably be
easier to search “Realidades program page” and then select Level 2, as opposed to trying to type out the web
address.)
Topics to review are:
TENER
Verbs with irregular YO forms – present tense
Stem-changing (“boot”) verbs – present tense & ir verbs in the preterit tense
IR (IR a + infinitive / destination)
Reflexive verbs (all tenses)
SER vs. ESTAR
Preterite tense (including ALL irregularities)
Commands (affirmative and negative)
Present progressive tense
Imperfect tense
Preterit vs. Imperfect
Direct & Indirect object pronouns
PRETERITE vs. IMPERFECT
Imperfect progressive tense
Present perfect tense
Present subjunctive
¡Viva el español y nos vemos en agosto!
Con cariño,
Srta. Karigan-Winter
