Phrase-A-Day English for Hispanic Children

Spanish-speaking children ages 5-11 will have fun while learning the English language. The program consists of an activity book that can be used in conjunction with audio cassettes. Young users can imitate the voices of the native speaking children & adults while following along with coloring & drawing activities. Seasons of the year are used as the framework within which are organized illustrations, vocabulary, & activities. Progress is natural because the words, phrases, & expressions are easy to say & are taken from the child's daily life. Numbers & counting, days of the week, foods & mealtime, articles of clothing, family members, & colors are an example of the practical vocabulary that is taught. The cassettes include music & sound effects. Effectiveness is enhanced because children are most likely to be interested & motivated when learning is self-directed. It is suggested that an adult teach the child to follow along with the book & to operate the cassette player. Words & phrases that are learned can then be used at home, at school, or at play. The book & two (62 min. tl.) cassette combination are $19.95, ISBN 0-88432-498-2. Book only, $7.95, ISBN 0-88432-500-8.
