Does the Spanish for Preschoolers E-guide: Teachers’ Edition Include Spanish Lesson Plans?
The e-guide provides an overview of how young children learn languages, strategies for successful early language learning, specific step-by-step guidance on how you can construct Spanish lesson plans based on the Ana Lomba’s Easy Immersion® system, as well as a bonus 60-minute sample lesson plan in the Appendix. Ana also offers ready-made lesson plan units.
What Is Ana Lomba’s Easy Immersion® About?
Ana Lomba’s Easy Immersion® is a language learning system geared to parents and teachers who want to expose and challenge young children to learn fluent everyday language in afterschool or enrichment programs or during “Spanish immersion time” at home. Ana’s mission it is to bring the best of language immersion methodology to settings that have not traditionally been able to enjoy it.
Is the Spanish for Preschoolers E-guide: Teachers’ Edition a Spanish Curriculum?
The e-guide is not a Spanish curriculum for preschoolers – it is a brief but substantial and targeted introduction to everything you need to know to create your own curriculum, step by step. The sample 60-minute lesson plan provided as a bonus in the appendix gives you a head start.
As Ana likes to say, if you don’t know why you are doing something, then you are not in control of your class – no matter if you have a curriculum or not.
The e-guide is a great first step, especially for those who have not been trained in early childhood education and early second language acquisition.
That being said, Ana’s curriculum is available for startup and established language schools through a license agreement. She also offers packets for teachers and programs that want to get started on a smaller budget. Go here to read more about Ana’s language curriculum packets.
Can the Spanish for Preschoolers E-Guide: Teacher’s Edition Be Used by Parents?
We do not recommend the e-guide for parents, as it is focused on classroom instruction. Instead, parents can check Ana’s other resources at www.amazon.com (check under “Ana Lomba”) and the iPad App Store for applications.
Can the Spanish for Preschoolers E-Guide: Teacher’s Edition Be Used by Regular Classroom Teachers Who Do Not Speak Spanish?
Ideally, classes would be taught by Spanish teachers. However, the e-guide can be used to provide a general overview for non-speakers who want to collaborate with the Spanish teacher and help expand the learning beyond the Spanish class.
The Spanish for Preschoolers E-Guide can also be used by administrators and business start-ups that are looking for ideas to get them started with a Spanish program.
That being said, Ana’s other materials have been design for use by teachers and parents who do not speak Spanish. Check them out at Amazon.com and Analomba.com.
Does the Spanish for Preschoolers E-guide: Teacher’s Edition Address other Age Groups?
Yes, the e-guide will show you successful strategies for teaching Spanish to toddlers, preschoolers, Kindergarteners and early elementary age children.
Does the Spanish for Preschoolers E-guide: Teacher’s Edition Include Spanish Games, Songs and other Activities?
The e-guide is not an activity book. However, it includes many examples of songs, games, and storytelling tips that will inspire you as you create your own activity. This video explains the content in more detail: Spanish for Preschoolers video.
Please check also Ana’s hard copy books, available from Amazon.com and other local and internet bookstores. Ana also offers e-storybooks and iPad apps.

My Granddaughter is 4 years old and goes to 4K where they teach 90% spanish and 10% english. She has learned skills in spanish but they don’t teach them how to say it in english. Do you have teaching tools for this.
Dear Ms. Michalek,
Thank you for your inquiry. One of the best ways to support your granddaughter’s progress at home is by reading bilingual books together. In particular, dual language books that have the text side-by-side are optimal for your purpose. All of my books are like that. You can check them out at: http://www.analomba.com/product-category/childrens-books-cds/. I also offer story apps, but they are currently being updated. When finished, they will be available at http://www.analomba.com/magic-worlds-stories.
Best wishes,
Ana Lomba
