Song School Spanish Review -Classical Academic Press

 

 

 With this I received the Song School Spanish student book(with CD) as well as the teachers edition.  The CD that comes with the student book(it is inside the back cover) includes 44 songs to help your children learn.  All of my kiddos enjoyed the CD even though they were not using the curriculum.

The student book is geared towards the K-3rd grade and costs $24.95.  I’ve heard it said that children learn languages better the younger they are when exposed to them.  My kids have occasionally watched Dora and Diego to pick up a few Spanish words.  My daughter(who is in first grade) was very pleased that she already knew a few of the words in the curriculum.

The teachers edition includes all of the student book plus the keys to go with the worksheets.  This book costs $24.95 as well.  It also includes ideas of how to use the curriculum in your classroom.  I also want to share that it also has over 40 pages of extra work pages that you can use with your child who has excelled and finished all of their normal coursework and wants to learn more.  The answer keys for these are included as well.

I do want to point out that they offer a Song School Spanish bundle that included the student and teachers books as well as the Spanish Amigo Match Flashcard Game.  This offer is only $66.95.

Now that I’ve told you all about the course, let me tell you a bit about how we used this.  We loved the vocabulary words the most and it was also something that the other kids could look at and participate in.  We decided the best thing to do was to make flashcards with the vocabulary words.  Each chapter had it’s own list so you can separate them by chapters or by sections.  There are review chapters within the lessons and so when we would hit those we’d combine the chapters that went with that review.  By the time we finish the course we will have all of the words together in one big stack!

As I mentioned before, my kids LOVED the songs.  I have some kids who just learn everything better if you can put it to music or rhyme.  For them they didn’t need the book, they just needed those songs and they were good.  We loved to take the cd with us in the van and just listen to us.  If we hadn’t covered that material yet they’d just listen to the song, but I found they were also picking up the words as they’d be using them later in the day.  It makes me wish we could get a cd like this for our vocab words in English too!
