Teaching Spanish to the kids is not an easy task for someone who doesn’t speak the language as well as others. Typically that subject is taught my hubby because he is a native speaker. I speak more of a Southern Spanlish which really isn’t a language at all. That is why I love love finding products that will help all of us get better at any language but especially Spanish. I have found some products that are good but none are as great as BookLingual. I was so thrilled to be able to review these amazing books.
About BookLingual:
A Simple, Easy-to-Learn-From Format
Our books are specially designed, based on scientific research on how children learn language; and how children learn to read. We split our books into levels, based on a child’s reading ability and language understanding.
Words are specially colored and associated with the illustrations from a book; as children learn new vocabulary. This is more effective than simply reviewing flash cards, which tends to become boring for children. Every book follows special patterns, in a way to disguise grammatical and vocabulary introductions. Your child’s brain does the rest, and unleashed their full language potential.
Based on Tried & True Research
Our BookLingual: Complete Spanish for Kids program integrates the most important Spanish language concepts. The 60 most important “sight words” are interlaced within the books; these sight words make up more than 25% of written Spanish text. The most-used vocabulary words, phrases, and grammatical situations are ingeniously ingrained into the books. Your child does not have to worry, they will just love reading the fun stories!
Reading is the Foundation for Learning
Want to know the top ways for children to learn anything? Studies have shown that children learn best with an actual teacher. The second best way for kids to learn? Books. And not interactive books or computer games; but good ole fashioned books (even in the eBook form). The static text and image force a child to create cognitive resemblance, memorization, and develop real skill. BookLingual harnesses the power of reading to develop language attainment in a natural way. Gaining strong reading skills (and a desire to read) will help propel your child a lifetime journey of constant improvement and achievement.
An Important Piece of the Puzzle
The truth is, fluency in a second language does not come from just one product. Many parents believe just buying one program, one DVD set, one book, or one language learning software will help them (or their child) become bilingual. The truth is, reaching fluency is about total immersion and a supportive environment. BookLingual is one very important piece of the puzzle – a piece which adds literacy, spelling, vocabulary, and grammar understanding. When combined with a tutor, language classes, actual speaking, DVDs, and other input – BookLingual will help take your child to the next level of bilingualism (or multilingualism).
Kids Have Fun Reading BookLingual Books!!
FACT: Kids put in the most effort when they are having fun. Instead of approaching BookLingual like it is homework, or a study session; our books are designed to be read like any other. Our stories, characters, universes, and illustrations are so funny, surprising, entertaining, and sometimes just unexpected. For kids, our books are not about “having to learn a language” or “studying”; but just enjoying themselves, and gaining a love for reading.
My thoughts
As I said I love anything that helps not only the kids but me as well. I loved learning to read in Spanish with my children because it means I can read the bedtime stories and not just Edgar. Every single I picked up my iPad to start reading with them they wanted us to try on of the bilingual books. I love that the pages had both the English and Spanish so it really is easy for kids (and me) to understand what I was reading and the pictures on the page also helped with all the descriptions.
We received six books to read which included; Bilingual Benny Likes Too Much, Bree and the Bee Can’t Share, Come to the Zoo!, Oh No, I’m Sick!, Grandma Cooks a Grand Dinner and Can You Guess What I Am? Our favorite book so far is Come to the Zoo. We are simply loving it!

I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

Lolipops look like a great option for my son when he’s sick!!! As for Velvet Pepper, what a cool idea to be able to customize your bags!
I am not sure if the question you were asking was related to this giveaway. Lolipops has it good and bad. A great idea for when my kiddos get sick, but I would hate for them to think it is candy. I do like the idea that you can get creative with you Velvet pepper back. We are a bilingual family and this giveaway is marvelous. This would totally help with Spanish reinforcement.
I learn safe and natural products for kids
Learning/knowing another language will help children later on in life when they enter the job market.
I use Superflashcard for my daughter to study Spanish. I think we should help our kids to learn some languages when they’re little. I often choose some easy topics to teach them. Superflashcard has flashcards with images and sound so that she can learn visually and auditory.
to help them better educate themselves and help later on with life
It is much easier for kids to learn another language when they are little. They’ll benefit from it in the future
Speaking more than one language gives a person many sweet advantages!
It’s practically essential to be bilingual in our global society. My five year old attends a magnet school that offers daily instruction in Spanish and this would reinforce her lessons at home. I’d love for her to learn German and Chinese too!
i would love my daughter to be able to relate and speak with more peopl;e
