A Science-Backed, Practical Guide for Parents and Educators

Teaching a child Spanish does not require lessons, drills, or pressure. Nor does it require perfect pronunciation or grammar explanations.

It requires something much simpler and far more powerful: meaningful Spanish input that reaches the brain at the right moment (Krashen, 2013).

Bedtime stories create exactly that moment.

With Spanish bedtime stories for kids and bilingual stories in Spanish and English, parents can teach Spanish at home for kids even if they do not speak Spanish themselves.

This course explains, in clear and simple terms, why bedtime is such a powerful window for Spanish learning, how children’s brains store Spanish words and sentence patterns during sleep, and how different types of bilingual and Spanish-only stories can be used at different ages to build real Spanish comprehension and long-term fluency. 

Everything is grounded in well-established research on child brain development, memory, language acquisition, and sleep, translated into practical guidance that parents and educators can actually use.

If you have wondered how to teach kids Spanish without lessons, without flashcards, and without worksheets, this course is for you.

You will learn how to use story-based Spanish learning at home to make Spanish for kids feel easy, fun, and calm.
