Maximize abstract, analytic and interpretive thinking skills and capacity
Research has shown that bilingual children have improved abstract, analytic and interpretive thinking skills and capacity than their monolingual peers. Students also tend to outperform their monolingual classmates on standardized tests, such as TAKS, SAT, ACT, and GRE. Moreover, studies reveal that math and verbal SAT scores increase with each additional year of foreign language study. This means that the longer one studies a foreign language, the stronger their skills become to succeed in learning and continued education.
There is, however, a "critical period" from birth until about 12-years old, during which children possess a maximum facility in which to learn and acquire a second language. Therefore, the earlier a child begins learning a language, the better posit Individuals who speak more than one language increase their opportunities to communicate with more people and benefit more fully from travel abroad.
Cultivate multicultural knowledge and awareness
People of various cultures, dress and language are evermore prevalent in the United States, especially in the "melting pot" of North Texas! And it's important that we help our little ones to adapt and grow multiculturally by introducing them to the many cultural aspects of our friends and neighbors that speak languages other than English, or whose cultures and customs may be different than our own. SpanishSkool accomplishes this transfer of multicultural knowledge and awareness of the Spanish language and its peoples through indigenous music, song and dance; matching and memory games; native toys and musical instruments; and various books, materials and teaching aids from the more than 24 countries around the globe that speak Spanish in the Caribbean and Latin America, South America, Mexico and Spain. And, two languages are more fun than one!
