Joanne Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 has attention challenges? And if the curriculum can stretch up for additional students, it would be a bonus. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIch elle Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I'm not sure if $100 is cheap but I think it's perfect for 5th grade and up. The DVD's make it expensive but they are worth it for the daily drill especially for people who know NO Spanish (me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chels~ Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 My 6th grader really enjoyed BBC's Mi Vida Loca series. It is an interactive online video series. Very engaging and it's free. http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/spanish/mividaloca/ Teacher Print-outs: http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/spanish/mividaloca/syllabus.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoPlaceLikeHome Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 (edited) Discovery Education United Streaming basic package is $139/year via Homeschool Buyers Co-op. It offers a complete Spanish curriculum from K-12 with worksheets as well as other Spanish programming. The plus is that it also has just about any kind of educational programming you can think for k-12 such a phonics, math, science, grammar, history, music, art, geography, etc. Forgot to add, that DE has a 30 day free trial and that I truly love DE. Also, you would not need the Plus package since the basic package has all of the foreign languages. Also, you could hook computer up to your TV in order to watch on TV:) Another thing to try for free is Livemocha.com which offers rosetta stone-like courses on a variety of languages. I would supervise any children using the site though since occasionally a small pop box will appear asking if you want to converse in spanish, etc. I just close the pop up. I have never seen anything offensive as well and the pop ups were rare. Edited November 3, 2009 by priscilla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
