Springboard to Spanish: Introduction to the Spanish Language

SPRINGBOARD is a set of easy, encouraging foreign language lessons for young children ages 4-8. This popular series features two 90- minute cassette tapes on which a native speaker of the foreign language leads the child in short, playful sessions through a variety of actions by repeating simple commands in both the foreign language & in English. The child is not required to read or write the language. Instead, the language is absorbed almost effortlessly as the child enjoys a progression of music, games & activities. The program emphasizes well-planned lessons for the adult leader & can be enjoyed by anyone in the home setting as well as in class. Because the cassettes guide the activity, the adult is not required to know the language, but instead simply participates with the child. The accompanying Springboard books provide attractive illustrations & a word-for-word transcript of the cassettes along with a comprehensive Vocabulary Chart for review & an Activities Supplement with suggestions for further learning. The series is available in French, German & Spanish & will soon be available in Japanese.
