Welcome to Mrs. Lawhead's Spanish class! I'm excited to get your children started on their journey of ACQUIRING Spanish and learning about the culture!
“Language acquisition is a subconscious process; while it is happening we are not aware that it is happening, and the competence developed this way is stored in the brain subconsciously.” – Krashen

Learn About the Method
How did you teach your child to speak English? You taught them by speaking to them, singing songs, rhymes, riddles, reading to them, and asking them many questions that they could not answer for a long time. They were ACQUIRING the language. You did not give them worksheets and tests or ask them to conjugate verbs. You spoke to them and you made it understandable for them.
This is how your child will learn Spanish!
We use Comprehensible Input (CI) and Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling (TPRS). These methods help children acquire a language rather than learn about the language. It is a more natural approach to teaching languages and children don't even feel like they are "learning". It feels natural to them and they have a lot of FUN!!!
