Your Student After Llamitas Spanish Curriculum…
Is Llamitas Spanish Right for You?
BINDER Prerequisites
The binder does not require any former Spanish learning. It is most suitable for preschoolers.
Llamitas Spanish is for you:
- You want a completely done-for-you curriculum
- Your child is not ready for a comprehensive/ formal curriculum, but you want a program that gently introduces early years Spanish foundations
- Your child has not mastered Spanish first concepts yet, such as: the alphabet, counting to 20, colors or shapes
- Your child has not started, or is still learning letter recognition
- Your child is learning pen control and tracing letters and can focus on writing for 5 minutes
Llamitas Spanish is not for you:
- You want a comprehensive Spanish curriculum for your child (See our level 1 curriculum instead)
- Your child has already mastered the Spanish alphabet and other first concepts such as colors, shapes and counting 1-20
- Your child can confidently write the 27 Spanish letters in uppercase and lowercase
- Your child knows the sounds each letter makes in Spanish

Can I Order Additional Shipped Binders Later?
Yes! We provide hidden links just for our current students who have already paid the digital fee. Please visit the curriculum portal to locate the links. Or email us at info@llamitasspanish.com so we can send it to you.
Can I Use it in Co-Ops?
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.
What’s the Difference Between the Binder and Level 1?
The Morning Binder is not a complete early years curriculum, but aims to provide a gentle first step for learning Spanish first concepts.
Level 1 is a comprehensive and complete curriculum. It is more formal in format. Many families choose to complete the Binder first as a primer, while others complete both simultaneously.
Pro tip: If you choose to do both simultaneously, then pull the letters from the binder that correspond to the letters in each lesson for Level 1. For example, in Level 1 Unit 1 (The Ocean) your child will learn letters Mm, Pp, Bb, Dd. You can pull these letters from the binder too for extra practice!
We have a placement quiz you can take to help match your child to the perfect level!
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.
