luckymom Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Hello - I am looking for a paper and pencil Spanish curriculum for elementary aged dd (please, no recommendations for anything on a computer or online). I want it to be grammar heavy and correct, not "fun" or about culture, for serious language acquisition. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insertcreativenamehere Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Are you a Spanish speaker yourself? That would make a difference in what programs are recommended. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckymom Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 Thank you for pointing that out. Yes, I am a fluent speaker who needs help explaining Spanish grammar. I do not need pronunciation or vocabulary. I can speak the language but cannot explain it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matryoshka Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 The best one I found for mid-elementary ages that actually teaches grammar was Español para chicos y grandes from All Bilingual Press. Unfortunately, their level 2 was very middle-school oriented in theme and content and not thorough enough for that age (imho). I ended up having to cobble together materials until they hit middle school age (actually I think it was 5th grade) and then did a year-1 high school level over 2 years (Spanish Now! Level 1; again I didn't like Level 2, which is written by someone else!), then standard pace from there (switched to Breaking the Barrier Spanish).

luckymom Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 Thanks! I will take a look at these. Any more recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Getting Started With Spanish (This builds in plenty of review and is an excellent approach to grammar, IMO.) Easy Spanish Step By Step (This one goes quickly and has a lot of vocabulary. It may be too much for a young child.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
