The Book of Projects and Extensions
Item 100-6
This book provides projects and extensions related to material found in Touch
Spanish and other topics taught in the classroom.  It contains pages to be copied and
used by the student to fill in, color, cut and paste.  It also gives the teacher ideas on
alternative uses for the material already found in the classroom environment, material
that the students use everyday, the difference being that these topics are in
Spanish!  Some projects take just a few hours to complete while others may take
weeks, depending on the age group, the topic, the complexity and the detail desired
by the teacher.

The Touch Spanish Phonetic Letter Slide
Item 200-7
Now, an inexpensive method of teaching to read and write Spanish:  Introducing the
Touch Spanish Letter Slide!   It allows you to easily form 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6-letter
blends.  Then, by simply sliding the strips, you can rapidly rearrange them into more
new blends.  This visual aid helps children as well as adults to quickly grasp the
sounds and the mechanics of the phonetic sounds.

    For Montessori Schools, Public Schools and Homeschools,
    ...for those who want to provide Private Spanish classes,
    ...as well as for Adults!

It is easy to teach the phonetic skills using The Letter Slide.  This method is also
perfect for adults and even for more advanced groups.  Simply cut out the material
into cards and strips and you are ready to begin!   Just follow the instructions.  This
material is printed on heavy card stock in full color!  It comes with a handsome and
sturdy storage box.  Here's what you get:

  • Green Strips to teach the basic phonetic sounds and beginning blends.
  • Pink Strips with 2 and 3-letter blends.
  • Vocabulary Picture Cards with labels that are to be folded back.  These labels
    will allow the children to check and correct themselves.
  • And a set of Yellow Strips used to build the vocabulary words presented in this
    extension.
  • And, of course, you get The Letter Slide that makes all this program work.  It
    organizes the material in such a simple way that it is very easy for the children
    to visualize the mechanics of reading and writing Spanish!
The Counting Ruler
Item 100-7
This is an extension of Unit 12, The Numbers.  The Counting Ruler teaches the
concept of counting from 1 to 10 using the hands with fingers and strings.  The child
places several small objects near the ruler, extends one string to each item beginning
with the first string to the right and then continuing to the left.  Then he or she
reads off the last number, the largest number used, which just happens to be the
quantity!  The concept of counting becomes very clear.
