A Through Z - Grow With Me (Beginners Spanish Class-Part 1) (Ages 11-15)

The focus of part one of this course is to build a foundation for the Spanish language. Just like babies learn to speak their native language by hearing the language, repetition, and focusing on the basics- my students will do the same, but with Spanish. But don’t get me wrong, this course is not just for young children. I will adjust my teaching approach to meet the needs of all age groups. Just be sure to choose the appropriate section for your child’s age. We will start with the alphabet, common objects, shapes, colors and numbers. Then we will begin building simple sentences. I will always include visuals and provide positive reinforcement. This class will include a combination of learning structures. Students will practice speaking with me and their peers, they will practice writing and reading, and as mentioned before they will get to hear examples repeatedly and have visuals to assist with retention. We will use different educational sites to do additional practice and formative assessments. The course materials will cycle every eight weeks. Then my students can join me in part two which will add on more vocabulary, more complex sentence structures and include mini grammar lessons. If you would like your child to meet with me in a 1-on-1 setting to reinforce what they are learning in the small group session, I’d be more than happy to schedule that with you.
