As parents, if encouraging your kids to practice Spanish and reinforce the skills that they have acquired in class is a must to you, then this is the class that you were looking for. Leaners will be able to listen to a native speaker read aloud free-versions of 4 of the most famous fables while they follow along the reading on-screen. The fact that they know these fables from the English language gives them the edge of being able to identify words, phrases and situations that they recognize from the original versions. 💻Once they have seen each video, which I recommend to be watched at least 3 times, then the learners are ready to start working on the "cuaderno digital" / printable that accompanies each fable. Here, they will find the story, reading comprehension exercises as well as review of grammar points and vocabulary exercises. They will also be asked to determine the "moraleja" or the moral of each fable. 👩🏻🏫Learners will have access to the class material for a year from the date of purchase. When help and feedback are needed, learners can reach out to me through the classroom or Outschool messaging for up to 4 weeks from the date of purchase for those who selected the upfront payment or up to 1 week from the date of purchase for those who selected the weekly option. 🕰️Please allow up to 24 hours to receive my feedback. 📆Since this is a self-paced class, learners will move through it at their own rhythm. There are no time constraints. Though a time period of about 2-3 hours per fable is estimated in order to watch the video 3 times and complete the exercises provided on the "cuaderno digital" / printable, this will closely be dependent on the Spanish language skill level of the learners as well as on the effort given to the lessons and their own schedules.
