My Story

During the 2020 Pandemic, my children's First Grade and Kindergarten Spanish Dual Language Immersion classes were abruptly moved to digital learning. As a parent with limited Spanish, I really wanted to bring more Spanish conversation into our home. I had bought several workbooks, but I couldn't find one that was specific to my goals.
 

I typically engage with my children by working and studying with them, so when it came to their Spanish lessons, I couldn't maintain a conversation like I would if I were doing homework in English. I decided to create DLI Parent Books as a way to help bond English-Only speaking parents with their Dual-Language students.

When I work on an activity from the book with my children, I love that they correct my pronunciation. I love that they are showing off their language skills and communicating with me.  I wanted to give parents a tool so they could engage their children in a second language. By learning together and doing things together, I feel this experience will foster a lifetime of memories.  Marie Urquidi

Relation to DLI Parent: Classmate
Note:  Son received a copy of the book from school.

My children are both in a dual language immersion Spanish program and we are not Spanish speakers. Because of our kids, I'm finally taking steps to learn Spanish alongside them...Speaking Together in Spanish is the perfect compliment to my own studies.

I've been wanting my boys to learn Tagalog for the last couple of years. We  had some success with Apps, but what's nice about these books is that we are learning together.
