excellent flashcards for building Spanish vocabulary

These 50 flashcards are heavy and glossy, with bright pictures accompanying the text. We are using them with our 22-month old, who has heard Spanish from birth. While he already knows most of the words, I expect that the text will be helpful as he progresses with letters and eventually, reading. I'm thinking of attaching them to objects so that the words will be readily visible. The words are printed in English in small letters in the corner, which make the cards useful to those learning Spanish as a second language as well. A valuable and fun language-learning tool.

Awesome Flashcards

Our 4-year-old daughter loves these Flashcards. The pictures are cute and distinct, and the cards are thick and high quality. She enjoyed doing these so much we're going to try the "Words and Phrases" ones also.

The Useborne book of Everyday Words in Spanish

This is a colorful Dictionary which a child will enjoy. It targets the young foreign language learners and grabs their attention with very well done illustrations covering key words for the every day life situations. Nicely done sections on forms, colors, actions and numbers. My 4-year-old spends a lot of time with this book. For Spanish learners I would also recommend The Picture Book Dictionary by Valerie Laud, really a catching eye edition which contains not only the key words, but also full sentences samples, supported by great illustrations.

Great for 1st Grade classrooms!

My first grade students love this book! It is equally valued by my gifted and also struggling students. The children use it in a story writing center to help when they need to spell a word, or get ideas. This book is arranged by themes rather than alphabetically, for example, there is a 2 page spread of food words. This helps the students who are not ready to look up words alphabetically. The pictures are bright and clear. The book is sturdy enough to survive being handled daily by several students. Easily 5 stars!!

The BEST Spanish Book Ever!

This book is awesome! First of all, it is *beautiful*! The art work is amazing - all the illustrations are done in clay, but in a wonderful way I've never seen before. The illustrations are bright, eye catching, and very engaging. Second, the way the book is done makes it extremely versatile. On your first look through, you can read the names of all the objects pictured. In your subsequent use, you can ask your child to find the objects pictured in the margins in the picture itself. ie: "Donde esta la mariposa?". We use this book not only for learning Spanish, but also for sharpening observation skills [like a "search" book or "I spy" book]. And my child has to know the meaning of the word I'm using [ie: Mariposa] to know what to find in the photo - it makes the whole process extremely interesting to her and she really, really enjoys our Spanish lessons! I can't recommend this book highly enough!
