Starr includes vocabulary lists in different sections, and the five different sections listed in the Table of Contents make it easy to use as a reference as well as a basis for HOW to teach Spanish (even if you don’t know Spanish yourself). There is even a resource section that includes how to evaulate material, websites, books, language centers, camps, addresses for embassies, the works! For that section alone, the purchase is worth it!

This book can easily be used by parents who have never taken a language course before thanks to the simple explanations of linguistic lingo. The reader does not become overwhelmed by loads of new concepts all at once. Examples of activities are given to help young learners (and adults!) acquire their second language the natural way, rather than always spending time in a classroom.
