Frequently Asked Questions

What Age is intended for Level 1?

For beginners, Level 1 works well for ages 5-10.

For bilingual or native Spanish speakers: ages 5-7.

Level 1 is most correlated with Kindergarten for CCSS en Español. It provides the foundations in phonics and counting. Our curricula is sequential!

Take our Placement quiz if you are unsure.

How long is the Level 1 Curriculum?

Level 1 is made up of 12 thematic units with 6 lessons per unit.

Each lesson takes 20-30 minutes to complete.

We Speak Spanish Fluently. Is This Too Easy?

Actually our program is very popular amongst native and heritage Spanish speakers because we provide bilingual scripted lessons (read the blue ink for Spanish). This allows you to use the program as complete immersion.

Your child may already know the thematic vocabulary but will develop foundational skills in Spanish phonics, early math, reading and more.

We go beyond learning vocabulary! This is a comprehensive and academically robust curriculum.

I don’t speak Spanish! Can I teach my kids successfully using this curriculum?

Yes! We have designed Llamitas Spanish to support both native and non native speakers.

We provide lots of support for parents that are learning alongside their child:

~ The textbook provides scripted lessons in both English and Spanish. English is in purple. You would read the purple only.

~ We also provide native speaker audio tracks, and pronunciation guides.

Everything is setup to support you so your experience is fun and stress free!

How much printing is there?

If you choose the printed version you do not need a printer. Everything is printed for you.

If you choose digital only (print at home) you will need to print:

Level 1 Textbook: 300 pages (150 sheets)
Level 1 Readers: 50 pages (25 sheets)
We recommend printing the textbook unit by unit as you go. Print the readers all in one go.

Each unit is about 20-25 pages (10-13 sheets). It is manageable! But the printed option is there for you if you want to hit the easy button!

Can I get a hard copy of the textbook?

Yes! You can choose between two payment options: The digital-only course (print at home) OR the digital + physical (printed spiral bound course book + readers).

Are there separate teacher and student books?

No. Everything is open-and-go.

Instructions are provided on page for parents / teachers to read. The student then completes the activities on page in the same book.

Is this curriculum secular?

Yes. The Llamitas Spanish Levels do not include any religious teachings or biblical content.

Secular does not mean we are anti-religion. It simply means that we don’t include faith based content. If you have any questions regarding this, please feel free to contact us.

Our Holiday and Seasonal Bundle includes content that pertains to the Christian cultural celebrations in Spanish speaking countries. This is not part of our curriculum levels.

Do you take purchase orders?

We do! We love working with Charter Schools and Homeschool Co-ops.

Please visit our Charters page for more information.

Can I use this curriculum in a Co-op / group setting?

Yes, but the purchase of a Teacher License is required.

This is for any group settings, where 2 or more families come together to complete lessons. Please visit our Teacher License product to learn more about our legal guidelines.

We ship to U.S. states and territories. Shipping uses live USPS rates and is based on the weight and distance.
