[Spanish for 1st grader]

Another board member and I are currently working on making worksheets to go with each lesson of Salsa Spanish. I will be making Beginner worksheets for K-1st that has very little to no writing, more matching, circling, etc.

 

I am also making Regular worksheets for 1st-2nd that involve actually writing the vocabulary in Spanish, etc.

 

I will let you know as soon as I have them finished, but it's a slow process. I might just keep updating as I finish them so people can use them as needed.

Thank you SO VERY MUCH! I would be excited to use these....as the lesson guidelines from the site just...I only have 3.5 days a week to homeschool...I don't have the time or the energy to make my own stuff up lol.

 

26.2mom, I was considering Rosetta Stone....but I feared that it would be too much for my 3 yo..of course I don't except a lot for her age except exposure but you said that your 7yo is starting level 2? That gives me some confidence that maybe my kids could do it...

 

Looking into that speedy spanish primer too...that's a good buy....

That's too bad that Muzzy does not teach proper grammar...bleh. I will look into Salsa for sure, thanks for the recommendation!

My son will be in first grade later this year and has expressed that he would like to try and learn Spanish. Is there a program out there that would be good for a 6 year old....and if I could throw in the 3 year old preschooler that would help a lot too. Just something she could sit in with us on for a few mins and learn. Muzzy caught my attention but I've heard a lot of negative reviews about those. The company offers a trial for 30 days at 10.95 or so...but I'd like to see if there is something else out there.

[If you had a child in K, what would you use to teach phonics?]

Phonics Pathways, All About Reading, or a free download from Tanglewood Education http://tanglewoodeducation.com/grade1.htm

[What is the worst educational/HS item you've ever bought?]

Another 100 EZ lessons hater here...my son started to cry within the first several lessons....I pushed through...and the tantrums got worse. I finally got the brains to chuck the stupid thing.

 

Singapore Earlybird....not a great fit for my son at all.

 

Christian Liberty Press The World God Made. Too....bleh. I can't explain why I don't like this.....just the general feeling it gives me...seems like religion masqueraded as science. Maybe it's because even though I'm a Christian I don't believe in young earth views. The whole book just seems so boring and not very scientific.

 

Incidentally I love most of the stuff from Queen Homeschool...especially the Language Lessons lol. Everyone is so different.
