Flip Flop Spanish: Ages 3-5: Level 1 (Book + CD) [Spiral-bound]

Senora Gose (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 3 and up

Complete with a CD, this is a hands-on book! The Flip Flop Language Series makes it fun and easy for all parents (Spanish-speaking or not) to teach their children Spanish.

Why Flip Flop? Every other page is upside-down for a reason! We designed each book to fold back on itself so your student can see and focus on only one page at a time. As you both work through the lessons, your student sees a glimpse of what's to come, so when he FLIPs the book upside-down, your child will proudly review all that he has accomplished, simply by turning the pages, flipping and learning as you work back toward the front of the workbook. Reviewing previous vocabulary and activities is imperative to language acquisition.

With more than 14 weeks of activities, puzzles, lesson pages, extra ideas, and a glossary, this workbook only contains the pages that really WORK with children to help them want to learn Spanish and practice it. The flashcards in the back are easy to cut out, and fun to color and use. All families also receive free ideas and online tutoring help through the book's website!

About the Author

Sra. Gose is the mother of five children, and an avid private Spanish classes teacher. Part of her study took place in Madrid, where she lived with a wonderful widow who knew not a speck of English. After "retiring" from public school teaching to have the first of their children, she missed her students as well as the fun of teaching. Thus, the full-time mother and homemaker began Sra. Gose's Spanish Classes. Since then, she has developed lessons and activities for weekly classes for students ages three years to eighteen. Her books are compilations of her proven Spanish curriculum.

More About the Author

Señora Gose (1976-present) was born in Dallas, Texas and enjoyed discovering other languages at a very early age. After studying abroad in Spain as part of her schooling in University, she returned home to teach Spanish in the Public Schools for several years. When her first child was born, motherhood called her home, but she missed teaching and began offering her own private classes. Unable to find useful Spanish curriculum that was engaging for her age range of students (ages 3 and up), Señora wrote her own weekly lessons.

As more and more families asked for copies of the lessons, Flip Flop Spanish was born. She continues to teach Spanish to their own five children as well as hundreds of other homeschooling and public schooling students each year in Central Texas, and looks forward to adding more helpful workbooks and foreign language tools to the Flip Flop Language Series.

Her own experiences with learning a foreign language helps her to remain patient and positive that every student who wants to learn Spanish, can. "We just have to find the method that's best for that brain!" Students continually test and give feedback on every worksheet, activity, and lesson plan before the Flip Flop Spanish series ever goes to press. She prides herself on only publishing proven techniques that are fun, rewarding, and effective.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally...a great tool!, August 8, 2005

This review is from: Flip Flop Spanish: Ages 3-5: Level 1 (Spiral-bound)

I am a grandmother of seven and have never learned a second language...never saw the need, I guess. However, it has become necessary to change that because my grandchildren are being taught (beginning at age 3!) Spanish. One of my grandsons will describe something to me in Spanish, and I have no idea what he's talking about.

When I received this book I got excited because it's very easy to follow, especially with the CD. The most helpful to me are the pictures because I'm a visual learner! When I can make an association then I don't forget it.

I really hope there will be more books because I would like to learn as my grandchildren learn; it just makes it more fun when I can communicate with them on another level. You can be assured I'll buy any future books.

There are 14 lessons with 3-4 days of practice work for each. The CD is a valuable resource for correct pronunciation and the short lessons are doable for the young child and busy mom! Definitely a fun, low-stress introduction to Spanish!

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Dissatisfied, June 5, 2008

This review is from: Flip Flop Spanish: Ages 3-5: Level 1 (Book + CD) (Spiral-bound)

I purchased this workbook/cd to teach my 4-year-old daughter Spanish and was surprised by the poor quality of the book, the lessons and the cd. The book is cheaply made (no color, low-res graphics, thin paper, only 59 pages) and the lessons were not engaging to my child. The accompanying cd only pronounced the vocabulary words (no games, music, themes, etc.) The flash cards at the back should have been perforated and on thicker paper. Also, there are only twelve flash cards which seems like a waste of time. I purchased other beginning Spanish books/cds for children (Speak in a Week, Spanish for Children, I Can Read & Speak in Spanish) and was very pleased with these publications. I paid more for this workbook ($29) because of the rave reviews. I'm not sure why everyone else seems so happy with Flip Flop Spanish but I wanted to share my thoughts. I am returning this to Amazon.
