Classroom Spanish for Kids Education Program

The Risas y Sonrisas Classroom Program is more than a set of teaching aids. It is rooted in a method that is designed to stimulate different learning styles (visual, auditory and kinesthetic) to capture the attention of all students. By using a multi-sensory approach, both sides of the brain are engaged in the learning process. Students can learn much faster and with a higher level of retention.

The flexibility of the Risas y Sonrisas program allows you to adapt it to other curriculums or to follow what the students are learning in English. While there are certain units that need to be presented at the beginning, the rest can be presented according to the school or the teacher's preference.

"I have used your program for a year now and I am planning to use it again this year. I teach Spanish in two different Catholic schools in Seattle . I have found your program to be easy for the students to use, entertaining, and engaging. I have used it in classrooms from K through 8th and they all have seemed to enjoy it and most importantly, learned the material."
