Disclosure: I received a 3 month subscription to Monarca Languages so I could do this review their Spanish language printables and lesson plans for preschoolers.
Summer is here filled with fun trips to the beach and lots of traveling. Summer is also a great opportunity to improve my children’s Spanish because they are spending more time at home and we can work on their math and reading skills. It is hard to find good quality Spanish-language educational resources online and that is why I am thrilled with Monarca Languages. They have a wide array of hand drawn, fun and stimulating learning materials for preschoolers from worksheets and coloring pages to board games.
Monarca Languages materials are based on a sequential seasonally based curriculum. Monarca’s team has worked in the Early Childhood Education field for more than 50 years combined, bringing a unique experience of the early childhood developmental process which gives me the peace of mind when it comes to the quality of the materials (I can’t tell you how many times I have seen Spanish-language educational materials with spelling and grammatical mistakes even in schools!)
Even though my kids are 5 and 8 when it comes to Spanish we are still working on some of the basics . My little guy is starting to learn to read and my daughter who learned to read in English at school has transferred that skill to Spanish but she still has to work on her Spanish phonemes, letter sounds and word recognition so we have taken advantage of many of the materials available on Monarca Languge and they are both improving not only their Spanish but also their math, problem solving, reading and writing skills in general!
To download all the printable materials you just need to join Monarca Languages’s monthly membership. The first month is free so you can try them out and after that each month is only $7.99 !
The printables and lessons are divided into 4 subjects and each one has materials that are separated depending on the child’s age :
- Seasonal Materials include worksheets and games and craft projects with seasonal themes, some of these change monthly. In this section you will also find additional resources like books, CDs and games that you can purchase separately.
- Reading and Writing Corner includes worksheets that introduce the alphabet’s letters and their sounds through pictures, building literacy and language fluency. We include reviews that put other important concepts into practice, including problem-solving, refining visual discrimination, critical thinking, logic development and tracing
- Math Circle: Worksheets include basic mathematical concepts, such as: categories, number recognition, geometrical shapes, patterns and problem solving.
- Coloring Pages
So this summer my kids are having a great time improving their Spanish working on reading, writing and math skills. This month they are learning about el verano (summer), about insectos (insects) and about plantas y flores (plants and flowers) and we can’t wait to see what new subjects they we will be exploring next month with Monarca Language!
So head on to Monarca Language’s website and sign up for you free one month subscription. You can also like them on Facebook and follow them on twitter @monarcalanguages to get great tips and information about teaching kids Spanish and free Spanish-language resources.

Que bueno Paula yo pienso organizarles una escuelita de verano en mi casa a los chicos este verano, el paquete me viene re bien!! Suerte para mi.
Qué dificil vivir fuera del país de uno y todavia criar hijos en diferentes lenguas, yo le hablo espaňol a mis hijos, en casa hablamos inglés y vivimos en la Rep. Checa donde se habla checo, yo trato de ponerles programas en espaňol todo el tiempo. Me encanto el post! espero que pueda suscribirme aunque este lejos de US
Lisbith claro que puedes pues como es en linea puedes bajar todos los materiales directo a tu computadora e imprimirlos en casa.
Excelente, those are great materias for working with the kids during the summer. would love to win the membership for my kids.
me encanta! divertida forma de aprender español.
Me encanta este sorteo, que aprendan o refuerzen su español es bien importante para mi. Gracias
great resource I always think that art teaches kids a lot
Me encanta este programa, por mas que hablo espanol a mis hijas, no saben decir una sola frase , es muy frustante para mi, solo escucharlas hablar en ingles, :/
Voy a compartir el enlace con amigas con niños más pequeños.
Creo que esta suscripción le vendría maravilloso a mi sobrinita mas peque, su mami hace un gran esfuerzo para que siga hablando español cuando en todo su entorno solo hablan en ingles
Si gano me encantaría regalarselo a ella… ojala se pueda.
Saludos
I like that it helps young children learn! I’m going to look into this for my daughter. Thanks!
I like that it would give my daughter a learning experience over the summer!
I no longer have young children but I know how important it is for our children to be bilingual in this country. This sounds like a great program to help them a long their way.
Me encanta porque es ideal para mi Pequeña de 7 años!
¡FELIZ DÍA!ॐ

Me gusta que puedo enseñarle gramatica a mi hijo en mi idioma.
I love that they have memberships starting at $4.99 – that makes it way affordable to families that would like to help their children learn another language but not able to afford the programs to teach them.
Excelente opciones para que nuestros hijos aprendan nuestro idioma.
I love that it is affordable and that they offer some freebies on their site!
I want my children to learn Spanish!
