“Since I’ve started with this program, everything has changed in my teaching, the classroom, the small group rotations, and even the students. Some children are reading, spelling and recognizing words. I have more access to teaching tools, such as books, materials, etc. I feel this program has helped me teach in a way didn’t know I could.”

Let IDRA demonstrate ways of using our Semillitas de aprendizaje materials in your early childhood classrooms. Semillitas de aprendizaje is a unique bilingual (Spanish/English) set of early childhood materials by IDRA that is based on the art of storytelling. Each story of the theme-based curriculum encourages the richness of language and print. It is designed to help early childhood teachers and parents encourage communication and language exploration through literature discussions in both Spanish and English.
