I have taken most of these suggestions from my own language learning experience. The best way for your child's Spanish to improve is to incorporate it more into his/her daily life. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or ideas! Thank you for making this a priority!

Practical ways to incorporate Spanish into daily life:
- Have your child help you make the grocery list in Spanish.
- Label things around the house with vocabulary words (on index cards or on Post-its works well).
- Listen to music in Spanish.
- Get together with another Spanish-speaking friend.
- Start a notebook with new Spanish words learned. Next to the Spanish word, write the English word and maybe leave room for a picture. (I always used the tiny spiral notebooks).
- Have one dinner a week where the language of the table is Spanish.
- Play movies in Spanish, along with the subtitles!
- Tell jokes in Spanish (books available on Amazon: "chistes para niños"
- Become informed yourself. I have listed under "Spanish Practice Links for Kids" some Facebook groups that produce excellent articles and ideas on how to encourage your children in learning another language.
- Watch and listen to videos on BrainPOP Spanish at home. (www.brainpop.com) username: crestridge password: vikings (go to the very bottom and click on BrainPOP Español)
- Do a craft in Spanish.
- The youtube channel Craftingeek is especially great! Parents, please be present and engaged when the child is on youtube.
