SEAL provides educators and schools with research- and evidence-based tools that help Dual Language and Multilingual Learners succeed, igniting a lifelong joy for learning in the process.

SEAL is a nonprofit with a powerful research- and evidence-based approach to advancing the educational outcomes of multilingual learners. For more than 15 years, we've work across the state of California, partnering with preschools and elementary schools, districts, county offices and other educational stakeholders to ensure all English Learners and Dual Language Learners learn, thrive and lead.

Our Work: Enhancing Multilingual Learner Success

We believe love for learning starts early, and requires persistent and engaging practice and application. Our whole-school strategy-from family partnership to culturally and linguistically responsive school environments-works to bolster language development, literacy, and champion success and joy in academics.

Educator Practice

We bring a dynamic blend of teacher training and leadership growth to our educators and administrators, sparking cross-school collaboration and building internal coaching and capacity to support all students. SEAL-trained teachers report increased confidence in their work, as well as feeling more empowered and effective in engaging with Dual Language and Multilingual Learners and their families.

Proven and Rigorous Research

Effective education demands continuous advancement. We conduct research in our classrooms, pilot new approaches, and publish insights, findings, updates, anecdotes, and more to advance the field's understanding of what works for Dual Language and Multilingual Learners.

Policy & Advocacy

Lifelong joy for education starts in the classroom, and lasting change requires effective policy. We advocate for better opportunities for all students by using our research, practice, and analysis to connect schools and administrations to policies and policymakers that advance the needs of our students.

Upcoming Events

Join us for our upcoming events, in-person and online, and share in all the knowledge, networks, and resources SEAL has to offer.

$800 for books

·       Newton has a class set of novels for each Spanish class.

o   4 approved books- Mexican, La Ultima Conquista and 2 more

Newton Bilingual Tutor

·       There is currently a bilingual tutor after school. The bilingual aid helps DI and Spanish class students

DI Student Lead

·       Working on a DI student to present at a district meeting

·       Suggestion: ASB student as a lead

High School Collaboration

· The 8th-grade exam to get placed in the Spanish courses needs to be looked at. Students place at Spanish 2 but it is very easy for students.

o   Advocate for students to be placed in AP Spanish in 9th grade- this can only be done with a  strong DI middle school

·       Explore college Spanish courses

Newton & Los Altos Collaboration

·       Reading buddies- this needs to be strengthened. In the past teachers were not aware of what the goal of these activities was.

Extra-curricular

·       Speech and Debate- Spanish is an option but there is little support.

·       Afterschool Spanish clubs à welcome volunteers. Do not have $ allocated for the year.

Mo Romero es un zombie que ama cultivar, cocinar y comer vegetales. ¿Tomates? Tentadores. ¿Pimientos? ¡Pura perfección! ¿El problema? Los padres de Mo insisten en que sus hijos solo coman comida de zombi. Le dicen a Mo una y otra vez que los zombis no comen vegetales. Pero Mo no puede imaginar una vida de comer cocina zombiana y renunciar a sus verduras. Mientras cuestiona su propia identidad zombi, Mo hace todo lo posible para convencer a sus padres de que den una probadita a los guisantes.

Reading to our kids is one of the most important things we parents can do. And if you're raising bilingual kids, good books in Spanish are a must! While I dearly love our stash of picture books in Spanish and English, I love finding original Spanish titles, written by native-speaking authors.

As a non-native Spanish speaker myself, raising bilingual kids, I love knowing these books will expose my kids to that authentic voice and culture I can't always provide. We can curl up with a good book, and all of us pick on the rich language together.

Even though many translations from English are excellent, some aren't. Authentic Spanish picture books tend to have a more lyrical, natural feel to them. It's not always easy to find authentic Spanish titles, but with lots of digging, I've found quite a few treasures here. Many books listed here are bilingual, but you'll see that they were Spanish first, by a native author.

Because this is such an extensive list of children's titles in Spanish, I've broken it into sections. You can crab a coffee or tea and browse away, or click on a title below to jump directly to that section.

AUTHENTIC SPANISH BOOKS FOR KIDS

For more book lists and suggestions, be sure to see my Spanish children's books page.
This post contains affiliate links. Thank you for your support!
If you'd like to take this list to the library or print and save for later, you can also grab it as a free download.

AUTHENTIC POETRY/MUSIC IN SPANISH FOR KIDS

1. ¡Pío Peep!: Traditional Spanish Nursery Rhymes - This is just our favorite collection of traditional rhymes and illustrations in Spanish, and an essential for every Spanish-language kids' library. The English translations are beautifully arranged as well.

2. De Colores and Other Latin American Folksongs for Children - From the beloved children's singer José Luis Oroczo, here you'll find the best songs, hand games, and rhymes in Spanish.

3. Arrorro, Mi Nino - A sweet collection of lullabies and rhymes for bedtime, compiled from 14 different countries.

4. Mama Goose: A Latino Nursery Treasury - This is a collection of 68 rhymes, jump-rope songs, fingerplays, proverbs, riddles, birthday songs, and more that can go along with Pío Peep, from the same author and illustrator. Authentic Books in Spanish

5. Little Chickies / Los Pollitos - Perfect for little hands, this lift-the-flap board book from Canticos recounts the beloved song Los Pollitos Dicen.

6.Little Elephants / Elefantitos - From the same Canticos series, this board book is a sweet introduction to the classic song Los Elefantes Se Balanceaban.

7. Muu, Moo!: Rimas de animales/Animal Nursery Rhymes - Another treasure from Alma Flor Ada and F. Isabel Campoy, this collection features animal rhymes and poetry, both traditional and originals from the authors.

8. Todo es canción: Antología poética - Featuring all original poetry, this delightful collection is organized by themes that will be helpful for teachers, especially (numbers, vowels, food, nature, etc.)Authentic Books in Spanish

9. Arroz con leche: canciones y ritmos populares de América Latina - This is another collection of Latin-American rhymes and songs for children, with gorgeous illustrations for children.

10. Little Mice / Ratoncitos - Another sweet board book from Canticos, introducing babies to the fingerplay Cinco ratoncitos de colita gris.

11. - This board book is a gentle introduction to the traditional song. Although the text is bilingual, this is from the Lil Libros series, which feature authentic Spanish-language picture books for kids.

12. Chumba la Cachumba - An old song about skeletons who come out of their graves at certain hours during the night. My Amazon Picks.

ALPHABET BOOKS IN SPANISH

1. Guatemala ABCs - This is just one book from a delightful series that introduces different Spanish-speaking countries through the alphabet.

2. Mi primer abecedario - Designed for young pre-readers to learn about the alphabet and its sounds, with a page for each letter.

3. ABeCedarios: Mexican Folk Art ABCs in English and Spanish - The bold, beautiful illustrations in this board book feature one animal per letter of the alphabet, in the style of traditional folk art.

The Day of the Dead (el Día de los Muertos), is a Mexican holiday where families welcome back the souls of their deceased relatives for a brief reunion that includes food, drink and celebration.

A blend of Mesoamerican ritual, European religion and Spanish culture, the holiday is celebrated each year from October 31-November 2. While October 31 is Halloween, November 1-2 is All Souls Day or the Day of the Dead. According to tradition, the gates of heaven are opened at midnight on October 31 and the spirits of children can rejoin their families for 24 hours. The spirits of adults can do the same on November 2.

Origins of Day of the Dead

The roots of the Day of the Dead, celebrated in contemporary Mexico and among those of Mexican heritage in the United States and around the world, go back some 3,000 years, to the rituals honoring the dead in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. The Aztecs and other Nahua people living in what is now central Mexico held a cyclical view of the universe, and saw death as an integral, ever-present part of life.

Upon dying, a person was believed to travel to Chicunamictlán, the Land of the Dead. Only after getting through nine challenging levels, a journey of several years, could the person's soul finally reach Mictlán, the final resting place. In Nahua rituals honoring the dead, traditionally held in August, family members provided food, water and tools to aid the deceased in this difficult journey. This inspired the contemporary Day of the Dead practice in which people leave food or other offerings on their loved ones' graves, or set them out on makeshift altars called ofrendasin their homes.

Day of the Dead vs. All Souls Day

In ancient Europe, pagan celebrations of the dead also took place in the fall, and consisted of bonfires, dancing and feasting. Some of these customs survived even after the rise of the Roman Catholic Church, which (unofficially) adopted them into their celebrations of two Catholic holidays, All Saints Day and All Souls Day, celebrated on the first two days of November.

In medieval Spain, people would bring bring wine and pan de ánimas (spirit bread) to the graves of their loved ones on All Souls Day; they would also cover graves with flowers and light candles to illuminate the dead souls' way back to their homes on Earth. In the 16th century, Spanish conquistadores brought such traditions with them to the New World, along with a darker view of death influenced by the devastation of the bubonic plague.

How Is the Day of the Dead Celebrated?

El Día de los Muertos is not, as is commonly thought, a Mexican version of Halloween, though the two holidays do share some traditions, including costumes and parades. On the Day of the Dead, it's believed that the border between the spirit world and the real world dissolves. During this brief period, the souls of the dead awaken and return to the living world to feast, drink, dance and play music with their loved ones. In turn, the living family members treat the deceased as honored guests in their celebrations, and leave the deceased's favorite foods and other offerings at gravesites or on the ofrendas built in their homes. Ofrendas can be decorated with candles, bright marigolds called cempasuchil and red cock's combs alongside food like stacks of tortillas and fruit.

The most prominent symbols related to the Day of the Dead are calacas (skeletons) and calaveras (skulls). In the early 20th century, the printer and cartoonist José Guadalupe Posada incorporated skeletal figures in his art mocking politicians and commenting on revolutionary politics. His most well-known work, La Calavera Catrina, or Elegant Skull, features a female skeleton adorned with makeup and dressed in fancy clothes. The 1910 etching was intended as a statement about Mexicans adopting European fashions over their own heritage and traditions. La Calavera Catrina was then adopted as one of the most recognizable Day of the Dead icons.

During contemporary Day of the Dead festivities, people commonly wear skull masks and eat sugar candy molded into the shape of skulls. The pan de ánimas of All Souls Day rituals in Spain is reflected in pan de muerto, the traditional sweet baked good of Day of the Dead celebrations today. Other food and drink associated with the holiday, but consumed year-round as well, include spicy dark chocolate and the corn-based drink called atole. You can wish someone a happy Day of the Dead by saying, "Feliz día de los Muertos."

Movies Featuring Day of the Dead

Traditionally, the Day of the Dead was celebrated largely in the more rural, indigenous areas of Mexico, but starting in the 1980s it began spreading into the cities. UNESCO reflected growing awareness of the holiday in 2008, when it added Mexico's "Indigenous festivity dedicated to the dead" to its list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

In recent years, the tradition has developed even more due to its visibility in pop culture and its growing popularity in the United States, where more than 36 million people identified as being of partial or full Mexican ancestry as of 2016, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Inspired by the 2015 James Bond movie Spectre, which featured a large Day of the Dead parade, Mexico City held its first-ever parade for the holiday in 2016. In 2017, a number of major U.S. cities, including Chicago, Los Angeles, San Antonio and Fort Lauderdale, held Day of the Dead parades. That November, Disney and Pixar released the blockbuster animated hit Coco, a $175 million homage to the Mexican tradition in which a young boy is transported to the Land of the Dead and meets up with his long-lost ancestors.

Though the particular customs and scale of Day of the Dead celebrations continue to evolve, the heart of the holiday has remained the same over thousands of years. It's an occasion for remembering and celebrating those who have passed on from this world, while at the same time portraying death in a more positive light, as a natural part of the human experience.

Our Golden Bell award winning program provides families with an opportunity to build literacy in two languages. Parents select the Dual Language Program to stimulate their child's cognitive, social, and linguistic development. It prepares children with advantages to compete for future careers. Dual Language Education provides children with the skills needed to live and work in a multicultural and global economy. Visit our partner site with https://sites.google.com/view/los-altos/homehttps://sites.google.com/view/los-altos/home for more information.

Our current program features kindergarten and first grade students only. A second Kindergarten class and one second grade class will be added. Our 2018 and 2019 school year classes are currently filled. You can contact the office for information regarding our wait list process.

We only enroll student into Dual Immersion at the start of Kindergarten. We maintain a wait list for students for the Kindergarten through first trimester of first grade. After that, only students who come from an approved Dual Immersion Program and/or students who are native Spanish speakers are allowed into the program and only if they show target language fluency.

What does a Dual Language Program Offer?

This unique program offers English and Spanish speaking students the opportunity to learn and excel in two languages, English and Spanish. Students in a Dual Language Program are taught in the 90/10 model. Students in kindergarten receive 90% of their instruction in Spanish and 10% in English. Each year, English is gradually increased into the program. By 5th grade, instructional time will be 50% in English and 50% in Spanish. Students at this time will develop fluency in both languages.

While most districts are struggling to address the needs of English Learners through distance learning, Anaheim Elementary School District (AESD) has kept their focus on bilingualism, biliteracy and English Learners while planning for distance learning during school closures.

AESD is one of the largest elementary school districts in California, serving approximately 16,000 preschool through 6th grade students across 23 schools in a dynamic, standards-based learning community. The student population is approximately 52% English learners, 18% Reclassified-Fluent English Proficient (R-FEP), 2% Initially-Fluent English Proficient (I-FEP), and 26% English only students. Of their English learners, 94% have a home language of Spanish. Additionally, 86% of the students are socioeconomically disadvantaged, 11% GATE, 11% receive special education services, and 9% are homeless.

With the leadership from the superintendent, support from the Board of Education and the community, AESD has either a Spanish or Korean Dual Language Immersion (DLI) Program at all 23 elementary schools, leading to comprehensive DLI programs from TK through 6 th grade. They also offer Accelerated Language Academy or Structured English Immersion and Mainstream English Immersion for their English Learners not enrolled in DLI programs.
Ensuring Technology Access for All Students
Prior to COVID-19, AESD was already a 1:1 digital district with one chromebook per family. Upon announcement of school closures, parents received an email or phone call (via parent link) to pick up their chromebook with a charger at their school sites. This happened over the course of 3 days. For the families who didn't pick one up, the school site individually called each parent. They had already established a partnership/grant with T-Mobile for wireless internet hotspots allowing free access to the internet. To expand access, AESD identified companies such as Comcast and Spectrum who are offering free internet service for three months.
Delivering Content in English, Spanish and Korean
From the very first notification of possible school closure, the district pulled together all the curriculum specialists including their digital learning specialist to create a plan for teachers to use for distance learning. Initially until their spring break, the week of April 13 th , teachers did not introduce new materials or concepts. After spring break, teachers have begun to introduce new concepts from their curriculum. A continuity plan per grade level was developed in English, Spanish ( will be linked to plans in our box ) and Korean ( also linked to plans in box ) that was structured around the hours in a minimum daily schedule with another hour for daily planning time.

The district also took steps to ensure that units of study and materials from the core curriculum are available in English, Spanish, and Korean. All teachers received professional development and a template for their grade level, allowing them to plug in units of study from their core curriculum (commercially developed) in English and Spanish. To develop the curriculum in Korean and ensure alignment with the same themes, the district has a partnership with professors from CSU Long Beach. Korean interpreters also read stories and taped content lessons for all subject matters. The DLI teachers maintain the same language of delivery consistent with their prior classroom instruction.

In addition to the core curriculum in language arts and math, the district also developed:

Daily 30-minute ELD lessons delivered using Rosetta Stone Foundations (different from the commercial Rosetta Stone for world language lessons).

Short lessons on how to address the social emotional needs of students, integrated into the language arts instruction. These lessons, developed by the two district social emotional specialists, came from the understanding that students are worried and often stressed about their family situation and the news about the coronavirus.

Weekly 30-minute music lessons in the languages of the programs, produced by music teachers.

Videos of short PE activities for the students to do at home.

Accessing the Content
The district webpage has icon links in all three languages that take students directly to the online platforms needed. The core curriculum is available digitally and in all three languages for teachers to upload and send via google classroom, which is the main portal for students to access the lessons.

While not perfect, it is very significant that distance learning is not English-only instruction and the language, academic, and social emotional needs of English learners are at the core of their developmental work for equity in distance learning.

As Magaly Rodriquez, the district's Dual Language Immersion Curriculum Specialist said, "These are the highlights of our process, and it is ongoing minute to minute. All departments and everyone in the district incorporate English learners in all of our efforts. It is a mission we take to heart. It is our reality."

Where have all the kindergarteners gone?

Support nonprofit journalism in California

We rely on your generous support to cover the stories that matter most to you. If you find our work valuable in these difficult times, please support our journalism.

Enrollment is down across the Golden State, with as many as 600,000 families opting out of online kindergarten. And with more than half of California's children under age 6 speaking a language other than English at home, our Dual Language Learners are at particular risk of falling behind. But, this is not inevitable if we take action now.

This crisis spotlights the most urgent needs and where getting the right supports in place will do the most good.

So, here's why California must flip the script.

Cutting edge neuroscience clearly documents the benefits of bilingualism for children. For infants and toddlers, exposure to multiple languages actually wires the brain for the kind of skills we will need most in our global world. So-called "bilingual brains" are more flexible, with greater problem-solving ability and executive function - in other words, a stronger ability to learn.

In addition to cultural, personal and familial benefits, supporting multilingual skills early in pre-K and kindergarten is an investment that pays immediate and long-term returns for California. Immediately, multilingual skills reduce the achievement gap, prepare younger kids for kindergarten and stimulate learning. Long term, Dual Language Learners have better analytical skills and future work opportunities.

When Dual Language Learners get the support they need in English and their home language, monolingual children benefit, too. Observing peers' experiences cultivates understanding and teaches appreciation for others' cultural and linguistic backgrounds - exactly the attitudes we need as our nation reckons with systemic racism and its long history of intolerance. Meanwhile, teachers with the skills and tools to reach all students benefit from better classroom management, fewer behavioral issues and more tailored instruction - allowing each child the chance to reach their full potential.

So, as the COVID-19 pandemic drags on, we need a plan for Dual Language Learners' immediate future and for when the virus is under control. New research highlights the urgency of action, finding 81% of California's Dual Language Learners are no longer receiving care at the programs in which they were enrolled in March 2020, compared with 73% of non-Dual Language Learners.

Keep tabs on the latest California policy and politics news

Right now, we must focus on making sure children in dual language households have the supports they need to learn at home. This means addressing the digital divide families face by ensuring they have access to technology and connectivity - and the skills to use them. Families need resources, like readings and activities, to support their kids' learning in their home language as well as English. We can also use this time to make sure teachers get the professional development they need to support learners from other language backgrounds.

As California's students slowly return to school, we must prioritize Dual Language Learners as some of the children who need the most support. With administrators readying school buildings for students' safe return, California should follow the example of other districts across the country by allowing Dual Language Learners and children with special needs to return first, knowing that distance learning presents a disproportionate challenge for them.

Finally, once kids are fully back to school, we must not lose the momentum we've gained by focusing on Dual Language Learners' immediate and long-term potential. This means protecting existing funds for supporting Dual Language Learners - and making increased investments. It means continuing and expanding professional development for teachers to ensure curricula support Dual Language Learners' learning in their home language and reap the full benefits of multilingualism in the classroom. And, it means ensuring our state is investing in evaluating all children's kindergarten readiness to pinpoint where extra help is needed most.

At the end of the day, California's future success depends on all children being able to reach their full potential. When three in five kindergartners speak another language at home, this is not about someone else's kids - it's about all of our children's chances to grow and thrive. Making that happen today will strengthen California's tomorrow: for them and for all of us.

Stuck behind a screen for distance learning, California teachers in dual-language classrooms are trying to come up with new ways to immerse their students in two languages.

Hundreds of schools in California have dual-language immersion programs, which teach children both in English and another language, such as Spanish, Korean, Mandarin or Vietnamese. The programs help students fluent in English learn another language, while helping other students retain their native language while learning English. The classes are designed so both groups can become bilingual.

With most instruction now remote and with less class time, students don't spend as much time exposed to their new language. In addition, students are no longer learning from playing and talking with each other in the classroom and on the playground. An important part of dual-immersion is that both groups model their own languages for each other.

"Normally, in our schools we would have students constantly turning to each other and chatting with each other, and they would be practicing specific language that they're learning and talking about the text that they're reading and writing," said Thea Fabian, vice principal of Fresno Unified's Wawona K-8 School, which teaches elementary-age children in Spanish and English. "What makes it especially difficult in this context is you can't do that very effectively. You can do that sort of, but it's not the same."

California is actively trying to expand the number of dual-immersion programs as part of a state initiative to get half of all K-12 students participating in programs by 2030 that teach them two or more languages. Some proponents of bilingual education are concerned that schools that are just beginning to develop their programs will decide to put those plans on hold amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Jan Gustafson-Corea, CEO of the California Association for Bilingual Education, said expanding immersion programs is essential, especially for English learners.

"We've seen through research that those students who are in those programs do so much better in all areas, both in the target language and in English," Gustafson-Corea said. "It might feel more challenging, it might take a tad bit longer, but if you're in that process and move forward with that, even during the pandemic and distance learning you can still do it."

Many teachers are using programs like Flipgrid or Seesaw to have students record and share videos of themselves reading or talking in another language. Breakout rooms in live platforms like Zoom or Microsoft Teams help get children talking in small groups, especially when teachers select children from different language backgrounds in each group, so they can model fluent language to each other.

Some teachers have sent home materials like plastic tokens to do hands-on math, seeds to grow plants, or watercolors to do art, which help the children learn the language by following directions. To get young children talking, some teachers designate a student of the week, who shares something they like with the rest of the class. The other children ask questions and then write down sentences about what that child likes.

Teachers are also sharing video or audio of themselves or others reading books aloud or singing songs or chants, so that even when children are not participating in live instruction, they can listen to the language and learn complex vocabulary, which is important both for students who are learning the language for the first time and for those who speak the language at home.

"If we're studying plants and animals, or habitats, and we're going to study the rain forest, we do chants related to that unit of study. We use advanced vocabulary, even in 1st grade," said Linda Montes, assistant superintendent of educational equity for Redwood City School District, south of San Francisco. "Students can more easily access that language if they're singing about it and chanting about it."

In one video shared by the district, Vanessa Sanchez, a 2nd-grade teacher at Adelante Selby Spanish Immersion School, sings a song in Spanish about the importance of making your voice heard when you see injustice. Another 2nd-grade teacher, Albert López, wrote the song, and the entire 2nd-grade team used it as part of their unit on government and leaders.

Teachers from all over the district collaborated to come up with lessons and chants.

"They can't do everything, but we can share the load," Montes said."That's a big lesson that we learned last spring, that one teacher can't do it all."

In another Redwood City school, Orion Mandarin Immersion, Montes said 2nd-graders built three-dimensional maps of their own neighborhoods and recorded themselves talking about their projects in Mandarin, using vocabulary they had learned in class.

Rosario Arellano, who teaches math and science in a Spanish-English immersion program at Stephen M. White Middle School, in Los Angeles Unified, said she's had to work hard to get students to participate in class, because they are more cautious about using Spanish in her online classroom than they were in person.

"It's been tough," Arellano said. "They're already having trouble with being in middle school, being more self-conscious, and now being online, and then having to do it in Spanish, it adds more weight on their back."

Arellano starts class with breathing exercises, checks in about how they're feeling, and asks them to answer a question like, "What is your favorite board game?"

"Usually because they are already participating with a fun question, that kind of gets them in the mood to participate a little bit more," Arellano said.

Several principals and teachers said sharing resources in both languages with parents, so they can help their children at home, and reassuring parents of the benefits of dual-immersion education is crucial during distance learning.

For some parents, especially those with younger children, it's been hard to watch their children struggle at home with a new language they don't understand.

Linda Caro's son had tantrums every day when he started kindergarten at a Spanish-English dual immersion charter school in San Bernardino this fall. The family speaks English at home and Caro's son doesn't yet understand Spanish.

"He couldn't really focus on the computer. That's hard in itself," Caro said. "On top of it, he doesn't know what they're saying. That was really rough. We kept just falling farther and farther behind."

After three weeks, Caro moved him to an English-only program, where she says he is doing much better. However, she plans to re-enroll her son in the dual-immersion school next year if instruction is once again in person. Her daughter is in 3rd grade at the school and has adjusted well to distance learning in both languages. Caro wants both children to learn to speak, read and write Spanish fluently, because their grandmother speaks only Spanish.

"I don't want to lose our native language," Caro said.

Out of 459 students in kindergarten and 1st grade at Ford Boulevard Elementary, in Los Angeles Unified, about 12 moved out of the Spanish immersion program to the English-only program this year, according to principal Ana Vega. That is a little more than during a typical year. Vega and other principals said it is natural for children to struggle during their first few weeks or months in a dual-immersion program, but they eventually learn the language. The main difference this year, they said, is that parents are witnessing that struggle because their children are learning from home.

"I tell them, 'What you're seeing is natural. You just don't see it when we're not in the virtual classroom,'" Vega said.

Shelly Spencer's youngest daughter also started kindergarten this year at a Spanish-English immersion school in Fresno, Ann Leavenworth Elementary. Spencer's oldest daughter, now in high school, also attended the school, and her middle daughter is now in 5th grade there. She said the program is harder online, but her kindergartner is paying attention in class in Spanish, and she raises her hand to answer questions. Spencer has also seen her begin to sound words out in Spanish.

"Because I've been in the program before, I could trust the process. A lot of parents when they start, they think, 'I don't think they're going to get it.' They always say, 'Just wait, just give them some time. It's all going to click for them eventually,'" Spencer said. "I can already see some things for her clicking."

The principal of Ann Leavenworth Elementary, Erica Piedra, said she has already seen improvement in Spanish language assessments between last year and this year.

"When you go into classrooms, you see they are learning how to read, they are learning their sonidos," Piedra said, using the Spanish word for sounds. "They are learning to speak the language. I have no doubt that our kids are going to be able to learn the language."
