Spanish Immersion Program for Kids!
A Week of Spanish Immersion Through Literature & Creative Expression.
For Students entering or currently enrolled in Grades 1–3
Cuentos Mágicos is a literature-based Spanish immersion experience designed for students entering or enrolled in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades.
Through carefully selected Spanish-language books, children engage with the language in meaningful and creative ways. The program focuses on listening, speaking, vocabulary development, cultural exploration, and artistic expression.
This is not a reading-instruction program. Instead, students become actively involved with Spanish through storytelling, discussion, movement, art, and collaborative activities.
Our Approach
Each week centers around a featured Spanish children’s book that anchors the learning experience.
Students:
Explore stories in a variety of ways
Build vocabulary in context
Strengthen listening comprehension
Practice expressive communication
Create art connected to the literature
Engage in music, movement, and interactive language games
Language is experienced through immersion, repetition, and creativity in a structured, supportive environment.
