Cuentos interactivos con marionetas y peluches (4 meses) (A1)

This ongoing class is for beginners. In each 30-minute class, your child will learn Spanish vocabulary and simple sentences through a fun story. The ultimate goal is for your child to be able to say the story in Spanish using his/her own words.  This class is an A1 level based on the CEFR.

Learning a language through stories is a fun an easy way to learn! For each story, I will first introduce the vocabulary and sentences, making sure that your child will understand the key words in the story to follow. To help you grasp and assimilate the material, we will work on each story for a few weeks, but each class we will work on the chosen theme in a different, fun way. Students will work on the story props so they can use them for practice and they can use them when they present the story.

Then, we will read the story and practice it several times. Your child will get to interact as a main character with my puppet friends and puffy animals. Your child can even bring their favorite puffy animal to be a part of the fun. On the last class, your child will present the story using the props we made in class and using his Spanish!

I will use classic fairy tales that will be modified so your child can easily understand the story and participate. We will use the most common Spanish verbs in simple sentences. The stories will also be adapted so both boys and girls can play a role of their choice.

In the class, I will use a variety of methods such as communicative method, gamification, task-based learning, etc.

My classes are limited to five students so that each one will have an equal opportunity to practice and receive timely correction. I am a native Spanish speaker and I am an ELE (Spanish as a Foreign Language) certified teacher.

My Puppet friends (Pancho, Beto, Lucía, and Moño), and I can't wait to make your child part of our story time fun!
