Spanish

Florida Virtual School’s Elementary offers a suite of Elementary Spanish courses. These courses are based on proficiency level rather than grade level. The majority of our students (even those that speak Spanish at home) find it is most beneficial in the student learning process to begin at the introductory level to ensure a smooth transition of content. Each level of Spanish builds on the previous level and is set in a new and exciting Spanish speaking country.

Introductory

In this course, students will be introduced to the Spanish language and culture through vocabulary, songs, stories, videos, and more. Along the journey, students will meet the famous Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and learn the story of Araña Pequeñita. They will also record and listen to themselves speaking new words in Spanish.
