"What can I say? Should I be surprised? I know this series of bilingual readers is based on a teaching method that is over 100 years old. But the method still works! After buying and trying to introduce many different Spanish language books, videos, and software to my own children...it was this classic book that my children were drawn to, and they really begin learning and using the Spanish language from it. My children enjoy the book because they are able to read it and understand it on their own. They only need me to help with some of the pronunciation of new words. Because the book is dual languagel, Spanish speaking children may also begin learning and reading English the same way." - Ann P., ESL teacher and homeschooling mom
Children learn the new vocabulary and grammar of a new language effortlessly when the stories are presented as a primary reader. The sentences are predictable and repetitive, offering sequence and familiarity, allowing the child to read in the new language independently from the start.
This is the second book of this bilingual learning classic. This book starts with patterned, dual language sentences such as Papa tiene un bote grande./Dad has a big boat. Then the sentences gradually expand to more complex structures and future tenses such as Mama va hoy a la ciudad./Mom is going to the city today. and Mi abuela jugara conmigo./My grandma will play with me.
