Choosing the Right Spanish Curriculum for Your Child

Picking a curriculum can feel like choosing a new language planet—textbooks, apps, live classes, oh my! Use these checkpoints to land on the course that fits your child’s age, learning style, and family schedule.

1. Match the Age Path

Age	Ideal Lesson Style	Must‑Have Components
2–5	Songs + picture cards	Repetition, tracing sheets
6–10	Short readers + games	Phonics, interactive quizzes
11–14	Projects + grammar bites	Writing prompts, pronunciation feedback

2. Check Skill Balance

A strong curriculum hits listening, speaking, reading, and writing every week. If a program is all videos, add hands‑on worksheets or conversation time.

3. Look for Spaced Review

Words should cycle back at growing intervals. Built‑in quizzes or flashcard decks mimic the brain’s natural memory rhythm.

4. Gauge Cultural Depth

Lessons that weave holidays, recipes, and music keep motivation high and show language lives beyond the page.

5. Confirm Parent Support

Clear guides, weekly outlines, and progress dashboards prevent guesswork on busy days.
