 Great! July 7, 2008
This book is very well laid out and a great help to my developing spanish soon to be 1st grader.
 Full color, eye catching, but no pronunciation... January 11, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is a GREAT workbook that is so full of Spanish worksheets, it's amazing. The cost just to photo copy it far outweighs the value of the book. From my perspective, if you have a knowledge of Spanish, and can read it correctly, with a good accent, this is definitely a neat book. My three year old, four year old, and 6 year old all have pages I can pull out for them to enhance their vocabulary. There are over 300 pages of full color worksheets and vocabulary building exercises.
The cons are: 1) there is no pronunciation or phonetic spelling at all, and of course no CD, so if you're iffy on pronunciation, you need something in addition to this to get you going. 2) there is not really a progression involved - just word word word - I can't see how a non-teacher would be able to hold the interest of a student with this book 3) there are no speaking exercises - just read and repeat, so the student never truly USES the language, just regurgitates it, which is why so many students take tons of Spanish and yet then can't speak a word of it in real life.
All in all, this is definitely worth the money, but should not be the crux of your Spanish language curriculum. Of course, I'm biased, but Flip Flop Spanish: Ages 3-5: Level 1 would be a great thing to pair it with.
