The Sube Learning Spanish thru Art, Music & Games DVD/CD Volume I was designed by artist and teacher, Agnes Chavez, as part of a complete curriculum developed in 1996 to help teachers and parents teach Spanish to children. This Cuban American artist was inspired by her son to preserve the Spanish language and culture at home and in the process has created a stream of innovative products designed to teach Spanish to children. Her story and personal journey has over the years inspired other mothers and teachers to do the same.This unique DVD/CD compilation is the only one to combine target vocabulary and effective teaching strategies with authentic Latin rhythms to create a fun and powerful way to learn Spanish. Each song/video has the same format which makes learning fun and easy. There is a simple chorus and two sets of key vocabulary words (16-20 words per song) that are called out giving the children four seconds to repeat and practice their pronunciation. The chorus is rhythmic, catchy and easy to learn so that kids start singing along right away.A diversity of musicians perform authentic rhythms such as Salsa, Cumbia and Ranchera music around key thematic units such as animals, body, food and clothes. Original and catchy lyrics written by Agnes Chavez accelerate language learning in a way that is fun and engaging for kids ages 3 to 12.The video is an added bonus where they can not only hear and sing along with their favorite songs, but also watch actual video footage of the vocabulary and kids engaged in activities kids love; going to the zoo, playing dress up and oing to the park.Whether teaching Spanish as a second language, or preserving a native language at home, the Sube CD and Video (DVD)combination pack are fun and engaging for parents and kids alike.
