Our curriculum is based on the California World Language Standards, which aligns closely to the national standards found in ACTFL (find out more here). 

Yes, each of our 5 levels contains 35 weeks worth of curriculum and resources (so that is 175 weeks worth of content total).

The PowerPoint slides included in our resources align per curriculum WEEK. That means for each week of the curriculum content, you have a complete and editable slide deck. 

You get ALL 5 levels of our curriculum! Our 5 curriculum levels are very adaptable by age and grade. But our recommendation age and grade by level is as follows:

• Level 1 (Español 1 Amarillo): Kindergarten-3rd graders. This is the beginning foundational level of the curriculum for students who are just starting their language learning journey. The focus is on building functional vocabulary and simple sentences using adjectives for conversation.  We will also work on pronunciation as we build student awareness of Spanish phonics, preparing them for reading and writing.

• Level 2 (Español 2 Azul): Recommended for 2nd grade and up. It is the second level to be followed by Level 1 or an older beginning Spanish student.  This foundational level of curriculum will focus on building more functional vocabulary than level 1 but follow the same themes as level 1.  The other difference is a strong focus on developing reading and writing skills through reading simple dialogues and silly stories with follow-up activities. 

• Level 3 (Español 3 Rojo):  Recommended for 6th grade and up. It is designed for students that have taken Level 1 and 2 or older students (beginning Jr. High and Spanish 1 High School).  This level builds grammar skills in the present tense while expanding their conversational skills through fun weekly readings.  The conversation grows to include various Spanish speaking countries while students broaden their vocabulary.

• Level 4 (Español 4 Verde): Recommended for 8th grade and up. It is designed for students that have taken Level 3 or Spanish 1 High School. This level reviews grammar skills in the present tense while expanding to two past tenses: preterite and imperfect to develop strong writing skills.  Level 4, used for Spanish 2 high school or more advanced classes, also emphasizes their conversational skills through interactive activities to develop fluency using present and past tenses.  Level 3 and 4 are also paralleled for ease in implementation and necessary recycling of content for student learning.

• Level 5 (Español 5 Anaranjado): Recommended for 9th graders and above. Students should have already taken our Español 4 Verde level or taken High School Level 1 and 2. In this level, students generate advanced-level functional language & maintain well-articulated independent conversations.

Each daily lesson in every level is scripted for a 45 minute lesson.

Our resources do provide vocabulary lists for students to study.

Yes, in fact, even more so. One of the many reasons we recommend teaching Spanish in Spanish is to give students as much exposure to Spanish as possible because you may be the only person in their lives that speaks Spanish to them. So we always recommend to maximize Spanish in the time you have with them because in many cases you are their only input.

Yes! The first 2 levels of our curriculum were designed with those students in mind - those that have no prior experience with Spanish.
