Renaissance Mom Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 My younger two have done SFC A and will complete SFC B this year. Since they have learned so much vocabulary and grammar, it's hard to find a program to plug into. I'd like something fun they could do to apply all that vocabulary and grammar rather than more forging ahead with yet more advanced grammar. They've already learned more grammar in these two elementary levels than any first year high school Spanish I've seen. I am so not a create it myself kinda gal, so I'd love some suggestions on what we could try. I'd put them both on Duolingo, but I'm afraid they'd be too slow because of their not-quite-speedy-enough typing skills. So, fun, application rather than new grammar, review vocabulary, advanced enough that they won't be bored, fun -- not asking for much, am I? :o TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Most of Duolingo isn't timed. You can always choose the non-timed option for the review stuff. (Note: I only use it on the website. Perhaps the app version is always timed?) I'm just :ohmy: and :eek: or maybe just :blink: that you guys got through SFC and liked it. How about just setting them loose on some (free) (e-book) Spanish readers? Let me find a couple that we mess around with sometimes: An Elementary Spanish Reader or A First Spanish Reader I dabble in both and I couldn't make it through SFC A. So, your mileage may vary!

SarahW Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Fun application - there is a new program called Linguistadores. It's made for adult learners, so you'll have to check out whether they include childrens content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Maybe something like Paso A Paso? Book 1 is high school level Spanish 1. Level A and B are each half of level 1, written for 7th and 8th grades. You can easily find student books, TMs, and other ancillaries used on Amazon. I don't have any personal experience with it, but it does seem to get good reviews. (I've ordered level 1 for my high schooler.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renaissance Mom Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Thanks! I'll look into these ideas. Has anyone ever worked with CASA Club Spanish? Their website has me bamboozled, and they have yet to respond to my email questions. (Never a good sign.) http://www.casafunclub.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
