| Parents can be a tremendous resource for language learners.
You can help without knowing Spanish yourself. Students need to
practice in order to develop their skills. Especially speaking skills. Encourage your son or
daughter to use Spanish at home. A simple prompt could be to ask
""What are you learning to say this week?" You could also check out these

The Internet is a rich source of materials for language learners. I've provided links to web sites which offer extra-practice activities for each lesson of Intro and Novice levels. Course descriptions and objectives are available for Intro and Novice levels. In addition, I've listed a few dates to keep you aware of when progress reports will be sent home for your signature. I'd like to hear your questions, comments or concerns. Please feel free to contact me. Muchas gracias, Alice White |
