The Large Poster Set contains 42 full-color posters with eye-catching illustrations that help reinforce vocabulary for each theme, and tap into the visual learning style.
Vocabulary on posters and in the Student Book are shown in the same order as the songs, so that students can easily follow the lyrics. While still learning new vocabulary, Large Posters can be a visual reference for students to help them feel comfortable participating in group activities.

Words are color-coded by the part of speech (noun, adjective, verb) as well as by gender, gender agreement, and verb endings. This helps students spot patterns and make associations across words, which accelerates learning.

The Cognate Picture Cards teach an easy-to-learn set of vocabulary that is very similar in Spanish and English. Learning cognate words builds confidence in students and helps quickly expand their Spanish vocabulary. Incorporate the cognate words into the Q&A or build picture sentences using the cards.

14 Domino Sets (24 tiles each)
The Domino tiles have a color-coded vocabulary word on one side and a colorful illustration on the other. Students build vocabulary "squares" individually or in groups by matching words to pictures.
1 Large Personal Pronoun Conjugation Card Set
The Large Verb Conjugation Cards are a classroom-sized, hands-on, and visually-engaging way to teach basic verb conjugation.
The Personal Pronoun Cards have slits to insert the verb word cards in the different verb conjugation endings. Students learn to build picture sentences using the traffic light association cards for the present, past, and future tense.
