Familias,

A couple weeks ago I shared 3 tips to start speaking Spanish with your child. All three of these tips used routines as a leverage to use familiar vocabulary and phrases.

Today I want to share a quick 2min. after school routine (video). Here are some strategies to get started:

– After asking the question, give 2-3 possible answers.
– Use Total Physical Response (fancy term for signs and gestures) to increase understanding.
– It’s ok for children to reply in English. This shows understanding of the question.
– When your child starts replying in Spanish (more likely to happen if you are consistent) show them how impressed you are and make a BIG deal out of it.

Feliz Viernes!

CON AMOR,
