Clever Publishing’s My First Spanish board books have a long life

We go to the dentista and read a revista. For some reason, my wife and I still remember that sentence from an early learner illustrated book that taught basic Spanish words. I don’t even remember the name of the book or anything else from it. It was cute and a book that resonated with our oldest child for a season or two. That was an illustrated book, and by its design was intended to be experienced in its totality. It’s not like a reference book where young readers are intrigued enough to open it to any page and thumb around. Clever Publishing has a trio of My First Spanish Books that hit the bilingual nail on the head for a couple of reasons.

Clever Publishing has a trio of My First Spanish board books that are smart enough for sixth or seventh grade, and young enough for crawlers.
This board book series extends through seventh grade for second language peeps

No Se Permiten Elefantes, early Spanish learning awesome

My Spanish is very far from fluent. However, I speak enough Spanish to communicate with lower-grade elementary students. Having said that, I also believe the full-immersion is the best way to learn a language for most students. I’ve also taught ESL for four years and know that communicating in the language that you’re learning, even when it’s beyond your comfort level is beneficial. It’s with all of that in mind that I read, and had our 12-year-old middle school student read No Se Permiten Elefantes. He’s been studying Spanish for half a year and already has a solid vocabulary base under him.

No Se Permiten Elefantes is an illustrated book with a classic theme, great art and is now available in a Spanish translation.
