MomN Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I'm looking for a laid-back Spanish curriculum to start next year with a 7 and 5 year old. I am wanting the sessions to be short and fun. Any suggestions on what to try? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 La Clase Divertida is fun. Getting Started With Spanish is short and efficient. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Tick Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Do you speak any Spanish? I like to start the elementary years with more of an immersion approach. Once a week we watch a Salsa episode from Georgia Public Broadcasting, one a week we read a board book from the library, one day we pore over a page from a picture dictionary, one day is a Spanish-language video, etc. We do this for a few years, gradually getting more grammar-based. By the time they start a curriculum it is "easy". Once I start a curriculum (and GSWS would be my recommendation for the first year), I want to keep moving forward with challenging curriculum of increasing difficulty. This can be tricky in foreign language study because there aren't many intermediate level programs for elementary students. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 For those ages, I like this book: https://www.spanishplayground.net/spanish-for-children-52-weeks-of-family-spanish-by-eileen-mcaree/ I'd add some flash cards or games and call it good. Maybe some videos/cartoons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldenecho Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 For those ages, I like the videos on http://foreignlanguagesforkids.com/ . You'll have to follow it up with something more but its a great starting place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
