Teach & Learn Spanish is a dynamic, colorful, engaging
way to introduce students to Spanish. Monthly units come in a spiral-bound book
format with an attached CD. The program appeals to a variety of
learners using high quality, colorful visual aids, songs, chants, games, role
plays, and a variety of fun activities for children ages 3 to 8 years old.
With the audio CD and activities, lessons will take between
15 and 30 minutes. Once a week is sufficient, but the more repetition the
better for students’ retention (2-3 times per week is ideal). An easy-to-follow

class, or even the classroom. Homeschooling parents will love the pre-planned
organization and ease of presentation as well.

greetings, counting, days, etc.
