Trying to help a child learn and speak Spanish can be challenging. One of the reasons could be that the child is not exposed to the language enough. Another could be that he or she does not find the activity fun or relevant. Using stories to learn the language not only makes it more exciting but it also puts grammar and vocabulary in context. Everything takes a new meaning when you are trying to find out what the character will do or what will happen next in a story. And all of this comes to the next level when children see themselves and their culture reflected in it. That's why, after teaching for twenty plus years, I created Cuentacuento, a book series that feature authentic books reflecting Latin American fauna and teaching important values such as the celebration of diversity and the validation of your talents. With their eye-catching illustrations and their repetitive style, these stories will bring language learning to life. If you are a teacher, you will find the educator's guide instrumental in implementing these books in your curriculum. As a parent, you don't have to know Spanish, just enjoy and learn with your kids!To learn more about my books and their amazing resources visit www.cuentacuento.com
