Formatted like others in the Skill Builders series, these books feature reproducible black-and-white worksheets with a variety of practice activities. Level 1 covers the alphabet, numbers, shapes, colors, parts of the body, and more. In Level 2, students learn common household words as they visit La casa Valenzuela (The Valenzuela's home). In addition to household vocabulary, simple Spanish sentences as more advanced concepts such as basic verb conjugations and grammatical gender are also introduced. ~ Enh

These are great tools for keeping children current in their foreign language studies or to prepare them for the next level. Students practice with a variety of fun and challenging activities. Each workbook is full-color and contains material based on national standards for the appropriate grade level. Exercises are entertaining and interactive to make learning fun and effective. With learning French or Spanish as a native English speaker, practice is the key to retention. You can supplement any foreign language program you are using with one of these workbooks. I find it is always useful to criss-cross language programs. There are usually different styles and it shows the kids are advancing when they pick up on subtleties like different vocabulary used in Europe vs. North and South America. If you have a program that is done mostly on the computer, this is some needed writing practice for your students. ~ Sara
