After English, Spanish is the most important language for North American students to learn. There is a distinction, however, between just learning common words and phrases, which is the approach of many Spanish programs, and knowing the language well enough to communicate correctly, fluently, and accurately.

Spanish for Children teaches elementary students in grade three and up this dynamic language, both classically and creatively, at a time when students soak up language like a sponge. This book employs the pedagogy and structure of our popular Latin for Children series, combined with dialogues and vocabulary, to teach Spanish. Spanish for Children emphasizes grammar and the parts of speech as vital tools for correctly speaking and understanding Spanish. The text also uses lively chants to aid memorization of both grammar and vocabulary.
