I was lucky enough to receive a pre-released copy of this wonderful resource! If you're a parent that understands the importance of second language acquisition, and really WANT to teach your child Spanish, but, but, but... This is the place to start! The author has written in a manner that flows and is easy to understand (none of that educator jargon) and truly gives practical, fun, and simple ways to experience Spanish with your child.
As you read, you feel like you're sitting at your kitchen table and she's just giving you some great advice!
Starr includes vocabulary lists in different sections, and the five different sections listed in the Table of Contents make it easy to use as a reference as well as a basis for HOW to teach Spanish (even if you don't know Spanish yourself). There is even a resource section that includes how to evaulate material, websites, books, language centers, camps, addresses for embassies, the works! For that section alone, the purchase is worth it!
Whether your child is a wiggly one, or a "sit and do worksheets type," this guide is a must-have. I'm impressed, somehow, she covers it all!

| This book can easily be used by parents who have never taken a language course before thanks to the simple explanations of linguistic lingo. The reader does not become overwhelmed by loads of new concepts all at once. Examples of activities are given to help young learners (and adults!) acquire their second language the natural way, rather than always spending time in a classroom. |
Great Resource

| This book provides some really great ideas and creative activities to introduce Spanish into your little one's vocabulary. While it is not a comprehensive guide to Spanish for toddlers, it is a great platform to practice from in everyday fun and play. This is exactly what I was looking to use for my 2.5 year old, rather than a formal curriculum. Thanks Starr! |

Teach Your Child Spanish Through Play, ..........
I was disappointed because you have to know Spanish in order to use this book. It does not give you any pronunciation guides. The book may be great for people who already speak. |
