The philosophy behind our Spanish curriculum

Children generally acquire a second language with ease, especially when they have access to a quality curriculum that teaches real-world situational language usage in an engaging way that feels relevant to them.  This is the foundation of Calico Spanish Stories.  The team who has been developing Spanish curricula since 2007, creating music, activities, and games that enable teachers and parents to easily teach Spanish to children in grades K-5, has done it again.

We teach kids to speak real Spanish, for life.  We are teachers and language learners ourselves, and we provide teachers and children with a quality Spanish learning experiences, without the expensive hype of content that doesn’t work.  We design standards-aligned programs with support across the spectrum of the teachers’ Spanish ability.

Over the past 11 years, we at Calico Spanish began building on the success of our wildly popular songs and music videos to create the Stories program, a scaffolded immersion program built around original Video Stories and supported by quality comprehensive language resources. At the same time, we amassed over 17 million views on YouTube for our free content.

Get to know our Spanish program 

The full Stories Spanish program is divided into four levels, beginning with Level A and, after much anticipation from thousands of happy subscribers, now includes Level D.

Each level of this popular Spanish curriculum gives children the chance to absorb the Spanish language through video stories, music videos, games, and demonstrations, all voiced by native Spanish speakers. In each lesson, animal characters interact with each other in a video story, introducing students to the language needed to achieve that lesson’s goals. The goals are aligned to world language standards established by ACTFL and are appropriate for children ages 4+, so you can begin children’s language learning journey at any time. 

At each level, children are introduced to new vocabulary through different environments and characters. In Level A (I Am Special) children will learn how to identify themselves, followed by Level B (I Love My Family), where they learn more about the family and pets and Level C (I Live Here), where children are taught through stories relating to life at home.

Now, with the addition of Level D, (Welcome to the Farm) children can develop further conversational skills to talk about weather, seasons, and clothing in the context of activities on a farm in Mexico. They can describe things that are orange or pink, identify the number of items up to one hundred, sequence events in a story, and much more.
