Year of learning 3 Spanish Resources

8 units for Year of learning 3, typically ages 7 to 8. Units 1 and 2 start from zero, so classes new to Spanish can begin here.

Year of learning 3 is for pupils typically ages 7 to 8, and any year group can start. Units 1 and 2 start from zero, so classes new to Spanish can begin here. Each unit is six ready-to-teach lessons built around one “Can I…?” question, with a growing sentence builder, a picture story, games, phonics, a song or chant and Talk time at support, core and challenge level.

Every unit is a PowerPoint viewed on the site. Word and PDF files can be downloaded and kept. Members can also download PowerPoints to edit and keep — three a month on a yearly plan, one a month on a monthly plan. New resources are added regularly.
