"Thank you for putting together one of the best elementary Spanish language
programs we have looked at so far." Annie Barrera (Leander, TX) |

The focus is on the acquisition of vocabulary and practical conversation. The creative use of posters, magnetic pictures and word cards, songs, games and multimedia materials all play key roles in the Spanish learning experience. |

so much greater using your curriculum which is rich with visuals and
varied activities." Celeste Green (Kalamazoo, MI) |

A Great Way to Teach Spanish To Home Schooled Kids!
The Risas y Sonrisas Individual Program may be used independently or as a complement to the school program. It consists of:
- A colorfully illustrated Student Book
- An interactive CD-ROM that serves as the Student Book's voice
- A Music CD with 39 songs to learn
Spanish vocabulary and key phrases
- Colorful Card Stock Domino Game that can be used with 12 different vocabulary units
All of these pieces work together to present the vocabulary, key phrases, and other Spanish language elements to students in an effective and entertaining way. Like our Classroom Program, our Individual Program is designed to stimulate different learning styles by using a multimedia, multi-sensory approach. In this way, students can learn much faster and with a higher level of retention.
The full-color Risas y Sonrisas Posters, Pronunciation Package, and Conjugation Package may also be purchased separately as an excellent addition to the Individual Program.
