Transform Spanish teaching in primary schools with Learn Spanish with Luis y Sofía. Designed to inspire a love of the language, this comprehensive 4-level scheme ensures full coverage of the Key Stage 2 National Curriculum, with Level 3 building on the language and vocabulary covered in Levels 1 and 2. The Level 3 book, along with its free downloadable resources, provides everything you need to teach Spanish confidently and effectively in Year 5. There are 7 carefully crafted stories designed to introduce beginning learners to essential vocabulary and language structures. These can be shared with pupils using audio-enhanced PowerPoints on an interactive whiteboard or printed for individual reading. Accompanying the stories are a wealth of lesson ideas for developing speaking, listening, reading and writing skills, engaging activities and mini-scripts to make the most of every story. Learn Spanish with Luis y Sofía is ideal for non-specialist teachers. Grammar skills are introduced progressively throughout the scheme, with clear explanations provided to support teachers. With all language modelled in high-quality audio files, you won't need to worry about pronunciation. Stories are an excellent way to teach Spanish as they foster emotional engagement, making the learning process both enjoyable and memorable. Children will adore the humour and relatable moments in the stories, eagerly following Luis and Sofia's adventures. Like many siblings, Luis and Sofía sometimes bicker, adding to their charm and authenticity. The stories link seamlessly to popular primary school topics, making it easy to integrate the scheme with other Spanish resources. At Level 3, topics include classroom commands, describing oneself, Christmas, toys and games, numbers to 60, the weather and seasons. This book and accompanying resources provide everything you need to teach Spanish in Year 5. However, to enable your pupils to better enjoy reading the stories on their own or in groups, an anthology of the stories is available for purchase: Luis y Sofía Spanish Stories for Primary School Pupils, Level 3.

Weniger Details

My first language was Polish. My Polish parents met in a convalescent home in Brighton, having been invalided out of the Polish Navy during the Second World War. Being bilingual in my early years probably predisposed me to enjoying learning other languages. After graduating in French and Spanish at Southampton University I went on to study German and Italian at evening classes. I love being able to communicate with people in their own language when I travel.Travel is indeed one of my passions. I have been to forty countries so far, often visiting different cities on repeat visits. My ambition is to visit at least one country per alphabet letter - only J, K, O, Q, V, X, Y and Z to go - but I'm going to have trouble getting to Xanadu.I have lived in France since 2015 and being on the mainland of Europe makes travel to many European countries much more accessible. Renovating a 200 year old farmhouse with a lot of land entailed my learning a whole new vocabulary, the first word in my new lexicon being 'une tronçonneuse' (chainsaw). This is understandably not a word I ever needed to teach any of my students in over 20 years of teaching!I worked in banking after graduating and only began my teaching career after the birth of my second child when I started to teach evening classes at a Further Education College. It was an education in itself to be on the other side of the desk for a change! I discovered that I much preferred life in the classroom to commuting to the City and felt I'd belatedly found my true vocation. When my younger child started school I swapped to teaching daytime classes and eventually joined the staff at my son's school but only - to our mutual relief - after he had left!In between working at the FE College and then at my son's school I took a year out to qualify as a Fitness Instructor. Being passionate about exercise I was keen to learn more about the science behind it and gained City and Guilds Diplomas in Anatomy & Physiology, Exercise to Music, Circuit Training and Personal Training. My least favourite element was Exercise to Music - not because I dislike music but because I have so-called 'directional dyslexia'. This led to some embarrassing moments of confusion when I verbally instructed attendees to 'grapevine right' whilst giving vigorous hand-signals to the left. I returned to language teaching soon after...Finally, having very much enjoyed the creative process behind writing my 'Luc et Sophie' books for Brilliant Publications, I am turning my hand to writing adult fiction. I write whenever I get a spare moment from working on my house or in my garden and usually get a lot done on the long car journeys from France to visit family in England. I hasten to add that it's my husband doing the driving and I'm a very quiet passenger! Watch this space for the next big psychological thriller!Barbara Scanes has 12 years of experience teaching French to 4-13 year olds, and prior to this was a secondary French teacher.She gained a huge insight into what children enjoy when learning a foreign language and has put this knowledge and expertise into play in writing ¿Luc et Sophie¿.
