Two full years of Spanish language learning

Spanish Ultimate Year 1 is easy enough for beginners, but robust enough to take you through the equivalent of at least 1 year of high-school study. Spanish Ultimate Year 2 picks up right where the Year 1 course ends and provides the equivalent of at least 1 more year of high-school study. And since Power-Glide is fully accredited through the Northwest Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities, you're assured of quality and ease of obtaining credit.

Speak the language, not just pass the test

The focus of Power-Glide Spanish Ultimate Year 1 and Year 2 is to help you speak freely and expressively in Spanish. You won't find mazes of grammar rules, boring rote memorization, and mind-numbing drills. Instead, the courses give you real language learning--the kind where you actually internalize the language, and begin to use it as your own. Robert W. Blair, Ph.D., is the creator of Power-Glide language courses. His methods are informed by current language acquisition theory and rooted in the work of world-renowned language teaching innovators. These methods provide a rich experience in communication and make the course fun and engaging.

Puzzles, games, stories, music

The activities in the courses are diverse enough to accommodate many different learning styles and aptitudes. You'll find music, stories, memory aids, Diglot Weaves, you-are-there adventures, kinesthetic, visual, audio activities, and more. In addition, Power-Glide Spanish can be used:

• with or without a teacher

          •  in groups or individually and self-paced

For Learners K - 5th Grade

Designed to help children understand and communicate

The Power-Glide Spanish Junior course was designed for children K - 5th grade. Course activities are designed specifically with these learners in mind and include matching games, story telling, speaking, drawing, creative thinking, acting, and guessing--all things which children do for fun.

Give your child the benefits of learning a 2nd language

Research has shown that children who learn a second language do better in school, get higher test and SAT scores, go on to better colleges, and have the added job opportunities that only come with knowing a second language. Furthermore, a considerable amount of research has shown that learning a second language in childhood helps children learn to read and write their native language.

Based on natural learning principles

When children learn their native language in early childhood, it is not through the study of grammar rules and vocabulary lists. Rather, they learn the words for things around them simply by listening to others. They intuitively grasp an amazing amount of grammar and syntax. By using activities that simulate natural language acquisition, it is not only possible, but normal for children to learn a new language quickly and enjoy doing it!

Puzzles, games, stories, music

The Spanish Junior course includes multi-sensory activities for all types of learners. Instead of using boring rote memorization and mind-numbing drills, this course gets children excited about communicating in another language. The adventure story, the variety of learning activities, and the simplified teaching methods are all designed to make learning interesting and fun.

What your child will learn

Children who complete this course can expect to understand an impressive amount of Spanish, including several common Spanish phrases, some complete Spanish sentences, numbers, colors, body parts, and instructions for drawing and acting given in Spanish. They will also be able to understand stories told all or mostly in Spanish, to re-tell these stories using Spanish themselves, and to make up stories of their own using words and sentence patterns they have learned. After completion, your children will be well prepared to continue learning at a more advanced level, and they will have the foundation that will make learning at that level just as fun and interesting as in this course.

This course includes:

Children's Activity Book

146 pages. Nearly every page is full of pictures that correspond to the audio stories and activities. The book is designed for young, emerging readers with most activities requiring no reading at all.

92 pages. Level II is the next step in your child's Spanish language adventure. It includes another adventure story along with new learning activities and challenges.

109 pages. Level III advances your child's Spanish skills even further with more stories and challenges, building on the skills from the first two activity books.

Parent's Guide

174 pages. The Parent's Guide includes teaching tips and instructions for parents to help their children get the most out of the course. It also includes corresponding pages and an audio transcript of every activity in the Children's Activity Book.

Audio activities from the course are conveniently organized and separated by track on the CD's.

The Power-Glide Junior CD-ROM can be used to introduce your children to a second language or as a supplement to the Junior Adventure Course. The CD-ROM includes interactive activities, games and resources for learners K through 5th grade.
