FREE Naturally Playful Spanish Book Club

Thursday May 28th 11:30am Central Time

While I read and chat about: El nido de Tit, you get to feel:

  • Relieved. Opportunities to notice patterns, changes, and cycles in the natural world

  • Reassured. A quiet, mindful Spanish experience

  • Aligned. Reflection and playful storytelling

El Nido de Tit invites your child to observe the life of a chickadee through the seasons. The rich illustrations and gentle story foster attention, wonder, and curiosity about nature.

Hi, I'm Laura from Spain, a homeschooling mom of 2 and Waldorf Inspired Spanish teacher for children and teens

When my first child was born in Canada, I found myself as his sole source of Spanish interaction. I was determined to find an effective way to teach him Spanish as a native speaker, even in a non-native environment... and I succeeded! We now live in Spain and my boys adapted smoothly to life as native-speakers.

The key was integrating storytelling, singing, and rhymes into our daily routine. These activities not only fostered a deep connection in his heart and mind but also became a cherished ritual at home. It was a calming and enjoyable way to establish routines and make learning fun.

Now, alongside my private classes and membership programs, I offer a free monthly book club to support your family's Spanish learning at home
