Purchasing Guide
Create your ideal classroom with Vivamos Spanish! We strive to make our program accessible to everyone, & we understand that teachers have different needs, classroom settings, & budgets. This purchasing guide walks you through our materials in 4
tiers—from ‘the essentials'
to ‘the enhancements’—
giving you the flexibility
to utilize our program in
a way that is most suitable
for you!
1. Membership Site
Our Membership Site is the essential component of the Vivamos Spanish program. It’s filled with fun games, videos, songs, skits, & more, all designed to bring our curriculum to life. In addition, our textbook, workbooks, & flashcards are all available digitally, creating an ideal solution for traveling teachers without a dedicated classroom. For guidance, the invaluable Teacher Portal serves as your central hub, providing access to manuals, level-specific teacher guides, & training videos that showcase activities in real classrooms.
Budget-Friendly Option: Your subscription includes all key elements of the program, along with the ability to print any workbook page! We offer this option to ensure that teachers with smaller budgets can access the program without limitations, providing you with everything needed to teach successfully, even if the Membership Site is the only resource you purchase.
2. Workbooks
Our leveled workbooks provide a fantastic roadmap for teachers, saving valuable time when planning lessons for—& transitioning between—multiple grades in a single day. Parents & students delight in having a clear, tangible record of language growth that they can proudly track throughout the year. With their very own workbook, each student’s progress stays organized & accessible, making precious class time more efficient. It also provides students with endless opportunities to reflect on & celebrate everything they’ve learned!
Budget-Friendly Option: Order physical workbooks for upper grades & print individual workbook pages for lower grades with your Membership Site subscription. While it is most convenient for each student to have their own workbook, this option offers a cost-effective alternative, especially in classrooms that prefer to emphasize interactive speaking activities for younger students.
3. Textbooks
Our textbook is uniquely applicable to all levels, creating a cohesive learning journey. This continuity fosters a deep understanding of the textbook’s fundamental concepts, known in our curriculum as ‘Mini Lessons.’ Students will see these concepts grow in complexity across workbook levels, paving a clear path to fluency. Because workbook activities are meant to be completed alongside the textbook, we recommend providing each student with their own textbook throughout their elementary education.
Budget-Friendly Options: Order a classroom set of textbooks rather than individual copies for each student. If desired, teachers can even purchase a half-classroom set where students complete activities in pairs or groups. Having at least a handful of textbooks available is especially helpful in classrooms with students of differing language abilities. More advanced or less experienced learners can utilize physical textbooks to complete their workbook activity while the rest of the class can reference a specific textbook page displayed digitally from the Membership Site.
4. Teaching Resources
With our dynamic teaching resources, vocabulary springs to life & sparks excitement in the classroom. Our interactive flashcards & game sets offer countless engaging activities, perfect for fun & memorable language acquisition. Since each vocabulary word is paired with its own unique image throughout the program, students’ rate of retention is significantly boosted. Real students even hand-selected each vocabulary word included in our curriculum!
Budget-Friendly Option: Purchase our two ‘Ultimate Collections’ instead of purchasing each theme separately. These bundled materials provide significant savings & instant access to every single teaching resource we offer!
