After-School Classes for Advanced Students

For children who have completed 1–2 years of our core program and achieved functional fluency in Spanish, we offer advanced after-school classes.

These classes continue to build speaking and listening skills in an all-Spanish environment, while also introducing reading and writing in Spanish. This step strengthens vocabulary, grammar (syntax), and long-term retention.

• Basic Reading classes (up to 12 students): Learn the Spanish alphabet, sound out words, and read stories with familiar vocabulary.

• Elementary classes (up to 15 students, typically 8–10): Read stories, learn spelling, and practice age-appropriate activities to strengthen verbal skills.

Research has shown that to become a successful reader, a child must have good verbal skills. This is why McKee schools do not teach reading and writing until the second or third year the child is in the program, unlike most foreign language programs that start with reading from the beginning in the form of worksheets and textbooks.

In Basic Reading classes, children begin learning the Spanish alphabet and how to sound out words. They also learn to read stories.

In Elementary classes, children read stories, learn spelling, and continue age-appropriate activities to practice their verbal skills.

Note: We try our best to provide level-specific advanced classes, but we often combine smaller advanced classes if a level has fewer than 6 students.

Schedule: Tuesday & Thursday, 3:45 – 5:30 pm
