At the heart of our FLES Spanish program is a strong commitment to literacy-based language learning. Grounded in the research of language acquisition expert Stephen Krashen, we believe that compelling, comprehensible input—especially through reading—is one of the most powerful tools for language development. Reading provides students with repeated exposure to vocabulary, grammatical structures, and cultural context in a meaningful and memorable way. By engaging with rich and age-appropriate texts, students build both confidence and fluency as they internalize language naturally. This is why our curriculum includes carefully chosen chapter books and stories that support both linguistic growth and cultural understanding.

When is it better to be yourself rather than fit in with a group? In the Amazon Rainforest, a problem is growing. Trees are disappearing. The water is strange. All the animals in this northern corner of Peru decide to be quiet rather than act. Well, not all the animals! One cute squirrel monkey is not afraid of being different.
