Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 6-A wide variety of learning methods based on natural language acquisition are combined in this program to allow students to soak up the language and learn to communicate in Spanish. This independent study course is built around an adventure story, where the student becomes a secret agent and must learn the language in order to succeed; fluency progresses as the adventure proceeds. Rather than rote repetition and memorization, users work in the adventure guide, completing lessons sequentially, while listening to the CDs. Students hear the spoken Spanish and associate it with a song, picture, or story from the adventure guide. Each CD has native Spanish speakers from different geographic areas, allowing a sense of the real world through the speakers' various inflections and tones. The guide contains additional instruction and cultural information, quizzes, activities and lesson plans designed for non-Spanish speakers. This course could be used for group instruction, but each student would need their own adventure guide as many of the activities require writing in the guide. Students above the sixth grade would not be challenged by most of the activities.

Power-Glide Junior Adventure,
By A Customer
This review is from: Spanish for kids: Power-Glide Children's Spanish Adventure Course Levels 1-3 bundle (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
My son is starting the Power-Glide Ultimate Adventure. He is in 5th grade. It has taken him 2 months to almost complete the hole program. He has enjoyed the Adventure with the two kids. This program is not for anyone who is older than 6th grade. This is one program that we can not turn off, so it has been worth it. He prefers this program over Rosetta Stone, but we will be using that program next year. We are using these programs for homeschool.

Confusing,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Spanish for kids: Power-Glide Children's Spanish Adventure Course Levels 1-3 bundle (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
It was kind of hard to find what you were supposed to listen to in the CD. They also mixed Spanish and English together in sentences. I think it is best to make the whole sentence in Spanish. It makes it easier to understand. On the songs, the words did not fit with the rhythm of the music. They also should have used native Spanish speakers because it would have been more accurate. But the stories were good for people who love mysteries.

Excellent language course for young children,
This review is from: Spanish for kids: Power-Glide Children's Spanish Adventure Course Levels 1-3 bundle (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
Power-Glide's Spanish language course for grades pre-k-4 is the perfect tool for teaching a second language at an early age. Parents don't need to know Spanish for this program to work. An audio guide leads the student who follows along is his colorable workbook. Level one provides a parent's guide, complete with transcript.Spanish words are inserted a bit at a time into interesting stories, acclimating students to their meanings by explanation paired with in-context use. Students begin speaking with the first lesson and are able to tell a story completely in Spanish early on. Repetition reinforces new words and concepts in interactive lessons using stories, diglot weaves, scatter charts, puzzles, matching, and tests (levels 2 & 3). The audio characterizations are done well and the activities easy-to-understand. A supplemental computer program complements lessons with additional games and exercises while the supplemental card pack teaches over 200 nouns in 22 categories and six languages. The colorful, sturdy cards come with an audio guide so parents don't need to guess at pronunciation. Power-Glide provides flash card games on their website for variety and more learning fun. Levels two and three continue to reinforce concepts and build new skills so that by the time a student completes the course, he or she will have learned to communicate in Spanish with confidence. Unlike traditional language courses that focus on spelling, writing, and grammar, Power-Glide truly accomplishes its goal of making students foreign language communicators. If this is what you want for you or your children, Power-Glide's foreign language courses are the ones to choose. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
