Language immersion teaches your child more than just a language. It opens the world for every student. The moment a student begins to learn a second language, they become an emergent bilingual. Their brains begin to experience the cognitive benefits of language learning and their hearts begin to develop increased empathy and compassion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6080d93a85e07876b1efb05a/46d0c58e-94af-412a-95d1-28c130fd7927/unsplash-image-20YP7NENJzk.jpg Home - A life-changing choice. The benefits of bilingualism are vast! Learning a second language can do more than just increase their linguistic abilities, it can increase their job prospects, improve their cognitive abilities, help them get accepted into college, improve their memory, and so much more! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6080d93a85e07876b1efb05a/f9d274ed-ac09-4077-89bf-33aa2b4538e5/woman+sitting+2.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://sarmientospanish.com/resources daily 0.75 2022-11-02 https://sarmientospanish.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-04-01 https://sarmientospanish.com/about daily 0.75 2022-11-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6080d93a85e07876b1efb05a/52abd6bf-2780-4d49-b30d-f3ca6332dfcf/woman+sitting.png About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6080d93a85e07876b1efb05a/83279c86-8e5a-452a-8d7b-a7bbfd926a3e/Sarmiento%2BStamp.png About - Who was Sarmiento, anyway? Domingo Faustino Sarmiento was an Argentine activist, scholar, writer, as well as the second president of Argentina. He was ahead of his time in pushing for education for women and children. Sarmiento was passionate about education and writing. As a result of her love of learning and reading, Sarmiento Spanish’s founder, Profe. Molly Cook, affectionately earned the nickname of “Sarmiento” while living in Argentina. When it came time to develop a name for the work she does with immersion, there was no better inspiration. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6080d93a85e07876b1efb05a/09d1ec15-9795-46ca-8c52-0caff6eeb706/Screen+Shot+2022-10-28+at+6.24.46+PM.png About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6080d93a85e07876b1efb05a/97aacb01-a597-4456-ab0e-146282af8298/Screen+Shot+2022-10-28+at+6.23.54+PM.png About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6080d93a85e07876b1efb05a/1619997530437-PCIFIYE62FP5EKVYLYLK/IMG_8369.JPG About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6080d93a85e07876b1efb05a/d765a9fc-30a6-4d8d-9a4b-380e828586b0/Screen+Shot+2022-10-28+at+6.24.08+PM.png About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6080d93a85e07876b1efb05a/71d4be99-998d-48d5-a7ee-797d78309f95/person+sitting.png About - What do we do?

Students will be proud of what they are doing if they feel support from their family. Remember that students may be tired during the first few weeks of immersion because of the increased cognitive load. Similarly, it is important to remember that language learning is a process that takes time. Having realistic expectations for your child’s language learning can help you to appropriately celebrate their milestones. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8b84ccdeec236234bf2c3b/1586539418611-NK2FJYY1N5XCZT63I1EQ/870063.jpg Support - Promoting Language Learning - Learn with your child: The best way to celebrate and promote language learning with your child is to do it yourself! There are a number of language learning apps, websites, YouTube channels, and more which can help you learn the target language your child is learning. Make language learning a family affair and model life-long learning by putting yourself in your child’s shoes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8b84ccdeec236234bf2c3b/1586539418611-NK2FJYY1N5XCZT63I1EQ/870063.jpg Support - Promoting Language Learning - Enthusiasm is not performance: Remember that celebration and enthusiasm does not mean putting your child on the spot to perform. Children may be very shy and nervous when it comes to speaking in the target language. Asking them to speak and demonstrate their skills in front of friends and family can have a very negative effect on their willingness to use what they are learning. Instead, celebrate when your child comes home and offers up a new word. Ask your child to teach you what they learned that day. https://sarmientospanish.com/support/struggling-students monthly 0.5 2021-04-25 https://sarmientospanish.com/support/reading monthly 0.5 2021-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8b84ccdeec236234bf2c3b/1597773089480-CIKNWI01SZTKWSP4PYRM/video%402x.jpg Support - Reading & Writing at Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8b84ccdeec236234bf2c3b/1597773059221-QMVA1SXW8CBZYHNAOCW6/boot%402x.jpg Support - Reading & Writing at Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8b84ccdeec236234bf2c3b/1597773039218-6Y0PW7PEK790S1HD3NDE/schedule%402x.jpg Support - Reading & Writing at Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8b84ccdeec236234bf2c3b/1597773077317-GTGBOSL4OGTUYG1OU3BU/wand%402x.jpg Support - Reading & Writing at Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6080d93a85e07876b1efb05a/1620313612301-HTGQIH1WU1SZ68E8HFGW/unsplash-image-p_KJvKVsH14.jpg Support - Reading & Writing at Home - Reading at home: Spending 20 minutes a day at home can help to increase a child’s reading, writing, and oral language skills. Countless studies have shown that reading at home with children is invaluable to their education and their cognitive development. This is also true in regards to immersion. It is vital for parents to spend at least 20 minutes a day reading with or to their child to help develop their native language skills and to transfer the reading skills they have learned in their immersion classroom to their native language. In a 2014 study looking at literacy activities of parents of immersion students, 77% of parents stated they read to their child in English (Feinauer & Feinauer Whiting, 2014). These parents noted a steady increase in their child’s English language abilities through this process (Feinauer & Feinauer Whiting, 2014). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6080d93a85e07876b1efb05a/1620313580655-AFMGDN47AUVNCI7GE8UB/unsplash-image-O5EMzfdxedg.jpg Support - Reading & Writing at Home - Writing at home: Students should practice writing at home with parents when it naturally comes up. If there is an opportunity to write a thank you note, a list, take notes for something, or anything else, encourage your child to write it themselves as much as possible! This will continue to develop your child’s language skills and further their development (Woumans, Surmont, Struys, & Duyck, 2016).
