"This modern series for learning new languages would be a wonderful addition to a classroom or a home instructional collection!" -- Juliana Brinkley, 1st grade teacher, The Learning Project Elementary School, Boston "These books introduce material in a way that is easy for children to understand, even before they know the words or phrases. I love that they introduce both vocabulary and useful phrases, and that humor is incorporated, as well." -- Amy Scott, world languages teacher, Kirk Day School, St. Louis, Missouri "The books provides an authentic introduction to Spanish that is colorful and enjoyable.... the repetitive sentence structure give the idea, but the word that changes is the vocabulary word. As a bilingual teacher, I am going to include Spanish Set One as part of my classroom library." -- Sarah Hensley, elementary Spanish teacher, Aldine Independent School District, Houston "This is really a clever way to learn a foreign language. As a homeschooling parent, I was surprised by the simplicity of the materials: just ten little books. But the simplicity makes it great for younger kids. My children can use the curriculum on their own, giving me a break while they still get instruction!" -- Life with Moore Babies "I can use the books to introduce vocabulary to students in a whole/small group setting. I can also put the books in the library and students can read on their own, since they're pretty easy." -- Paola Mendizabal, Elementary Spanish Teacher, Newport News Public Schools, Williamsburg, VA "These books are perfect for young language learners.
