Frequently Asked Questions
*Do all students receive Spanish FLES instruction?
Yes. All students participate in FLES.
*How can I help my child learn Spanish faster?
Language acquisition is a naturally slow process. Students are able to understand a great deal more than they can communicate. Just as with learning one’s native language, we must remember that comprehension precedes production. It takes time! It's natural!
*I don’t speak Spanish. How do I know if my child is learning?
FLES teachers are specially trained to create opportunities for optimal language acquisition. Even if you don’t speak Spanish, your encouragement will positively influence your child’s language journey.
