Spanish is My Superpower: A Social Emotional, Rhyming Kid's Book About Being Bilingual and Speaking Spanish (Teacher Tools)

this is such a sweet book!

This book is wonderful to help my son understand he does not have to be scared to swap between and speak two languages. It actually made me a little teary-eyed the first time I read it to him. We love it!

It gives you the weapons to teach children the beauty of being bilingual and embracing both cultures.We have a 5 year old who we taught both English and Spanish since he was born and was very fluent in both. At age 4 he started school and since is an English school (only one in our area) he was not allowed to communicate in Spanish, plus the classmates would tell him that he was wrong by using the language. As a result my son felt ashamed of speaking Spanish, and switched to English only. So I bought the book for support.The book is written in English, as a story of a little girl discovering her “superpower“ of being bilingual and helping communicate another student who only speaks Spanish to English classmates, provides examples of typically simple words used in Spanish and telling the benefits of speaking 2 languages from a kids perspective.My son immediately identified with the book and I explained that being bilingual is a super power that helps people communicate in English and Spanish he would tell my friends “we have a superpower” and explained them. Now he is so confident and fluent in both languages and proudly embraces our culture beautifully.

Love this story! Very powerful and I highly recommend it.

Tiene muy pocas letras, es más dibujo que letras.

such a positive reinforcement for children to learn additional languages. teaching them that diversity opens their world.

Great book for encouraging children to keep up with their Spanish. The message in the story is extremely positive, and it will keep the kids engage while reading it or listening to the story. The book is good for 2 to 8 years old. Maybe 10?????

It made it a conversation starter for me to tell my store to my 8 year old daughter. I didn’t think I’d get emotional but I knew the feelings my younger self felt were the same as in the story. I am so glad to be able to share with my daughter one of the hardest parts of being a DACA recipient in a child friendly way.

I expected a bilingual story. It's just in English.
