Sample<\/a><\/p>\n

The Spanish for Children Primer A Program<\/em> teaches upper-elementary students this dynamic language using the pedagogy and structure of Classical Academic Press’ popular Latin for Children series combined with immersion-style dialogues and vocabulary. The Spanish for Children series emphasizes grammar and the parts of speech as vital tools for the correct speaking and understanding of Spanish. The texts also use lively chants to aid memorization of both grammar and vocabulary.<\/p>\n

Spanish for Children Primer A<\/em> contains thirty-seven weekly chapters, including eight review chapters. Each chapter contains a memory page, a grammar page, a delightful worksheet, and a quiz. Students will learn over 290 commonly used vocabulary words. Engaging and conversational text, as well as grammar concepts, such as verb conjugation, tenses, and noun genders, will teach students to construct Spanish sentences well. All teaching and explanation provided in the student edition is written at the student\u2019s reading level.<\/p>\n

A special note from the Spanish for Children<\/em> author, Julia Kraut:<\/h3>\n

Our goal with the SFC series is to teach students \u201cwhy.\u201d We focus on the rules that govern the language and spend a large amount of time comparing Spanish and\u00a0English grammar.\u00a0In many ways the series doesn\u2019t teach just Spanish, it teaches how to go about learning a language in general.\u00a0This is different from the \u201cscenario-focused\u201d approach of many other textbooks, where students learn vocabulary that relates to specific subjects, and then learn to discuss those subjects.\u00a0While students using SFC do memorize vocabulary each week, using groups of related words to talk about various subjects and scenarios is \u201cthe icing on the cake\u201d\u2013the \u201ccake\u201d being an understanding of the patterns of the\u00a0Spanish language, knowing which word belongs where and why.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
