Using the vocabulary learnt in the last unit I prepared a shopping list in Spanish with 10 items that the children had to find in our local supermarket.  It was a race and the first one back to me with all the correct items in their basket was the winner.  Read More »Speekee® Accelerate Review: Supermarket Scavenger Hunt
Units for weeks 21 & 22 are all about animals!
For week 21 we spent time talking about our different animals and which are our favourite, forming questions like “¿Cúal es tu animal favorito?” (What is your favorite animal?). We also played a game of animal charades which was fun! Read More »Speekee® Accelerate Review: Weeks 21 & 22
This post marks half-way through our Speekee Accelerate review! We have covered 20 weeks of lessons in just over 12 weeks. We’ve kept up with the worksheets easily and although we haven’t always been able to do all of the additional activities that are recommended we have done most of them in small group!
As a Home Educator myself I’ve found that the small group setting we have developed for this review is working really well for us. Our small group entails my daughter Chloe (6), Timothy (7) and Georgina (11) and my other daughter Carmela (4) but she usually only joins in with the games! We meet every fortnight on a Monday morning.Read More »Speekee® Accelerate Review: Weeks 17 – 20
Weeks 11 & 12
Weeks 11 & 12 cover modes of transport, colours and comparing sizes. The worksheets in week 11 are great and easy for the children to get on with. Â They include lots of repetition with nice clear instructions.
This post covers weeks 7-10 of the Speekee Accelerate programme. We did pretty well to keep momentum going what with Christmas and New Year, I think there was just one week where we didn’t do anything!  It is definitely important to do a little bit as often as possible with this so as to maintain your child’s interest, even if that means simply watching the videos every day.  Read More »Speekee® Accelerate Review: Weeks 7-10
Weeks 1 & 2
These lessons introduce simple everyday phrases in Spanish such as “Donde esta…” (where is) and “No lo sé” (I don’t know).  They are introduced in the videos without written meaning and repeated often.
We did the name & number worksheet activities that go with these lessons.Read More »Speekee® Accelerate Review: Weeks 1-6
