Great list of resources! My 4 year old is really into computer stuff right now, so I’ll have to try him out on these. We live in Guatemala and my sons’ father is Guatemalan, while I’m Canadian. I speak only English with them, he speaks only Spanish. Since we live in a Spanish speaking country, I’m doing all the English possible at home . . . we have English movies, books, etc. At this point, my oldest prefers English, but easily switches between the two and my 3 year old prefers Spanish, but will happily speak in English if you want him to.

Thanks for this list…awesome! Jeremiah loves club penguin, I never thought of having him play in spanish! Thanks so much!

It’s hard to teach him spanish through just books or talking with “boring” mama. Having him chat with other spanish speaking kids sounds like such a good way to get more spanish in him.

Hola Catherine..¡Bienvenida!

Me imagino la dificultad que has de tener manteniendo el español viviendo en Nueva Zelanda. Pero qué hermoso!

Te recomiendo la revista online Latinitas http://www.latinitasmagazine.com/
Está más dirigida hacia chicas en Estados Unidos, pero mucho del contenido le podría interesar a tus niñas. También tienen podcasts, foros, etc…
Si me entero de otra te dejo saber.

What a great list!! Thanks Tricia! There’s also several sites with audiobooks in Spanish and that are more focused on reading, but I decided to leave those for a future posts.
I’ll definitely check these out!

Hola, acabo de descubrir el sitio. Siempre ando buscando nuevas maneras de ayudar a mis hijas con el castellano. estoy buscando alguna revista que pueda comprar para mis hijas que sea en castellano. Tienen 7 y 9 anos. No importa de que pais sea ya que vivimos en Nueva Zelanda y aqui no hay nada. Cual quier ayuda seria bienvenida. Prefiero que no sea de disney o personajes de television ya que ellas no ven tele ni usan computadoras.
Espero que alguien me pueda ayudar.
Gracias y chau

http://www.growstorygrow.com offers interactive stories designed to teach languages to elementary aged kids. They just put five Spanish ones up this past week. The plan, I think, is to have over a hundred available, along with activities and all kinds of fun stuff.

http://www.cuentosinteractivos.org is fabulous and fun. There are stories my preschooler loves and also ones my older two (9 & 11) enjoy.

http://www.inanimatealice.com has the beginning three chapters of a very artsy, interactive novel for upper elementary/junior high kids. It looks like they are going to add more chapters as time goes on.

marife.wordpress.com adds games and activities weekly (and sometimes more often) designed for preschool or lower elementary-aged native speakers, but they are fairly self-explanatory for kids who are still learning Spanish, as well.

I actually have about 10 more sites, but I won’t list them all here. If anyone wants them, you can email me at patricia18 (at) juno.com and I’ll give you my list!

Hi Ana, thanks for mentioning Pancho & Pita. With all the great sites you’ve mentioned, we’re honored to be in such good company!

I saw that documentary on the PBS site, and as a techno-geek I thought it was amazing. I actually recommend Frontline to your readers -not just this one episode, but all of them. It is one of the best shows out there.
