"Congratulations Brooks and Blue Lindner! You have developed a wonderful Spanish curriculum that puts the fun back into learning for children and adults!"

Sonrisas Spanish School Preschool and Elementary Curriculum
Our curriculum doesn't include DVDs, flashcards, student worksheets, or mascots. These things may look flashy and make a kit or box look full, but they are not the most effective way for children to learn Spanish. Children learn Spanish best by communicating in Spanish with a teacher. That's what they'll be doing with Sonrisas' fun and effective standards-based curriculum.
Sonrisas Spanish School Preschool and Elementary Curriculum includes thirty three thematic lessons that build on each other. These fun lessons contain music, poetry, games, stories, art projects, home reports, assessments, and a teacher's guide—everything you need to teach Spanish effectively. That's the fundamentals.
