[quote=Anonymous]My kids have all done a dual immersion program (Spanish) for K-5. My youngest is currently in 4th. We are not native speakers. There have always been a few kids in their classes that are fluent Spanish speakers, and far more who have at least one Spanish speaking parent so have some exposure at home. I can’t speak from their perspective, but I do know that the fluent speakers tend to be leaders in the classroom (for obvious reasons) and develop some leadership skills. All of the native speaking families I know have been thrilled with the program. At our school the curriculum for dual immersion is really no different from English-only. The only real difference is half the subjects are taught in Spanish from day one. This rotates somewhat by year. All K-5 have English Language Arts. All immersion students also have “Spanish” as one of their specials (two days a week I think)- this is with a designated Spanish teacher where they work in grammar and vocab [/quote]
