How often should my first grader practice Spanish?
- Research shows that a large increase in language learning occurs when a student is exposed to the target language for at least 20 minutes, 4 times a week. As students work in the target language with me twice a week at school, spending 20 minutes playing on my site twice a week, should help your student greatly improve their language skills. However, research also shows that young minds need time to play creatively, rest, and spend time with their family to be ready to learn. Therefore, although spending 20 minutes practicing Spanish twice a week is recommended, it is okay to skip this activity when things get busy. What should I practice first? All activities available to students that reinforce what is being done in class, will always be made available in the student buttons seen above. If multiple buttons are available it is recommended that students complete them in the following order: 1) Tarea/Homework 2) Lista Activa OR TPRS 3) Sitio Recomendado.
- Starting in October, the last week of every month, a 'homework check-in' button will appear at the top of this page. To register your child's homework progress, you simply need to click the button, fill out the form, and submit it. All students who complete homework that month will have their name put into a prize drawing the next month.
