Tips for parents
- Turn the songs into real games: hide a toy and ask where it is in Spanish, or fill a box and guess what's inside.
- Answer with the full sentence from the song (I have a ball, it's over there) so your child hears the whole pattern, not just the word.
- Swap roles: let your child ask the question and you answer, so they practise both halves.
Questions parents ask
- Why sentences and not just words?
- A sentence frame like I have… or where is…? works with every word your child already knows, so each new word becomes something they can actually say. Singing the frame over and over makes it automatic.
