Teaching foreign language to LDers?

Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

I have a group of homeschooled 13-year-olds who have expressed an interest in Spanish, so I need a program for them. I’ve looked into the more immersion-type programs, such as Power-Glide, but I think they will benefit much more from a more traditional rules-based program (or maybe a combination). Does anyone use a Spanish (or other foreign language textbook or traditional program that works for them — that sustains student interest with clear explanations and with pictures/graphics?

TIA! Sandy

I don’t have a program specifically, but whatever you use, make sure it combines *both* oral and written work, *both* grammar and conversation — you need this for retention.
