2 Music & Movement

Music and movement are natural partners. Get your students up and moving easily with excellent music. Many songs lend themselves to naturally become TPR activities. Simply act out the lyrics and you will easily enhance student comprehension and language retention.

5 Comfort and Culture

You’ll be creating a safe environment with the routines and rhythms offered in the Calico Spanish music collection. You’ll also be introducing authentic Spanish sounds and culture. The low-stress environment created with Calico Spanish music leads to learning opportunities.

3 Literacy through Lyrics

Developing Spanish literacy happens naturally when you provide students lyrics to view as they listen to the songs you sing. You’ll find student-friendly lyric pages in this activity pack.

4 Repetition that’s not redundant

Learning a language requires high levels of repetition. But repetition can be interesting, especially when that repetition comes through music. In music, there are many opportunities for repetition. Sing the same song in multiple formats (video, audio, with and without lyrics, with and without motions, etc.). Additionally, within a given song, there may be repetition in the melody, sentence structure, chorus, etc. Use music to make repetition fun, and you’ll find students gain language skills with greater ease.

Top 5 Reasons

to use Calico Spanish songs in your class
