Spring into Spanish

Recommended Ages

K–8th grades

Spring into Spanish is an interactive Spanish curriculum that teaches language through songs, games, and stories rather than rote memorization. Lessons emphasize real conversational phrases, high-frequency vocabulary, and cultural appreciation, helping kids hear and use Spanish in meaningful contexts. Created by an experienced Spanish teacher, the program was built to give homeschool families an easy-to-follow, joyful immersion experience without needing a native-speaking parent. Parents like the clear lesson plans, printables, and embedded music that make it simple to add Spanish a few days a week. It’s ideal for elementary-age kids who enjoy movement, singing, and story time. Families wanting a heavy grammar focus or written drills may need a separate workbook, but most see its oral fluency focus as a strength. To stretch your investment, keep favorite songs on a regular playlist and use key phrases from class during everyday routines.

Ideal for roughly ages 4–12 who love music, movement and storytelling, and for parents who want an upbeat native or near‑native speaker leading class so they don’t have to; particularly good for shy kids who benefit from a small, predictable online group where everyone is learning the same phrases together.

Pros

Immersive Spanish program built around songs, stories, games and short, consistent practice, with options for live online classes and self‑paced lessons so families can choose the level of structure they need; taught by an experienced bilingual educator, it focuses on conversational fluency and cultural appreciation rather than dry vocabulary drills, which many secular homeschoolers find keeps kids engaged and actually speaking Spanish. 

Cons

Live classes depend on set meeting times and a good internet connection, which can be tricky for large families or those in distant time zones; grammar and literacy instruction are lighter than in textbook‑style curricula, so advanced students may eventually need something more formal; as a premium, teacher‑led program, it’s pricier than free apps or DIY book‑and‑music approaches.

In several regions, Spring into Spanish has been accepted as a vendor by homeschool charter programs and ESAs—especially in California, where it appears on some charter vendor lists—though availability is not universal, so you’ll want to confirm with your specific funding program before enrolling.

Spring into Spanish Mission

The mission of Spring into Spanish is to help children fall in love with Spanish through joyful, immersion-style classes that feel more like play than school. Rooted in music, storytelling, games, and natural conversation, the program focuses on giving kids the confidence to understand and use real-world Spanish, not just memorize vocabulary lists. By combining a warm, encouraging teaching style with thoughtfully sequenced themes, Spring into Spanish aims to make language learning accessible to homeschool families and to nurture curiosity about Spanish-speaking cultures.

Spring into Spanish Story

Spring into Spanish was founded in 2008 by Miche Baskett, a veteran language educator with more than twenty years of experience teaching children. After years of seeing how traditional methods left many students anxious or disengaged, Miche began offering small, playful immersion classes that wove Spanish into songs, movement, and hands-on activities. Those early local classes, along with her much-loved playlists of Spanish children’s music, grew into a full program serving homeschoolers online. Today, Spring into Spanish continues to reflect Miche’s original vision: low-pressure, high-delight lessons where kids feel safe to speak, make mistakes, and discover the joy of using Spanish in everyday life.

About Modular Learning

FAQ: Additional Details about Spring into Spanish

Imagine your child logging into Zoom to a cheerful “¡Hola!” as classmates wave and the teacher’s guitar or playlist starts a simple Spanish song. Kids repeat silly phrases, act out motions, hold up objects from around the house for show-and-tell in Spanish, and maybe finish with a quick craft or drawing related to the week’s theme. The mood is warm and playful—lots of laughing, singing, and repetition in short bursts so kids stay engaged.

Spring into Spanish offers small-group, mostly live online Spanish classes for children, often organized into seasonal or multi-week sessions. Families enroll in a class that meets once or twice per week via Zoom, where a certified Spanish teacher leads songs, games, stories, and conversational practice; some sessions are also offered in person for local families. Homework is light and optional—usually short review activities or games families can play between classes—so it slots easily into a broader language-arts or world-language plan. 

For younger students, it helps to be nearby to manage technology, encourage participation, and support any follow-up activities like listening to playlists or reviewing vocabulary. Older kids can usually attend independently, with parents supporting by adding Spanish practice into the week—for example, labeling household objects or playing Spanish music in the background.

Most beginner classes assume no prior Spanish and only that learners can follow simple group instructions online; pre-readers can participate with a nearby adult, while intermediate sections may expect some basic vocabulary and comfort speaking in short phrases.

Spring into Spanish offers joyful, literature‑rich Spanish classes with a strong teacher presence, which can be grounding for shy, autistic, or ADHD learners who need relational safety. Families can choose formats (live vs. recorded) that best fit attention spans and processing needs.

Policies can vary by session, but the program’s registration materials emphasize that tuition reserves a seat in a small class and that missed meetings are generally non-refundable; families who need to withdraw usually do so before a session begins or arrange any credits directly with the teacher on a case-by-case basis. 

Families who strongly prefer screen‑free, nature‑only learning or who want a very grammar‑heavy, traditional workbook approach may not enjoy the playful, immersion style; teens who already have significant Spanish may find beginner classes too slow unless they join a more advanced level.

For screen‑free or more Charlotte Mason‑style Spanish, families often look at Beautiful Mundo or Niños and Nature; for live one‑to‑one lessons, Homeschool Spanish Academy or an iTalki tutor are common alternatives; Mango Languages or Duolingo can provide additional listening practice alongside class. 

Class offerings shift with the seasons, and in recent years Spring into Spanish has expanded its live online sections and added more options for different ages, including nature-themed series and daytime homeschool-friendly time slots.

Keep a simple “Spanish basket” near your learning space with puppets, a few picture books and objects labeled in Spanish, and pull it out after class for 5–10 minutes of low‑pressure practice, so new words immediately show up in play and daily routines.
