If you are a teacher who needs to develop elementary Spanish lesson plans or an administrator in charge of finding or designing a Spanish curriculum for elementary students in your district, you have probably looked at more elementary Spanish programs than you ever knew existed. Here at Sube, our product is special. And in spite of the fact that everyone says that about themselves, here, it’s true. What Sets Sube Apart from Other Curriculums? When a teacher goes to college to get certified as a teacher, they study pedagogy – the method and practice of teaching. If they go to...

You’ve probably heard it said that children learn like sponges, and for the most part that’s true. But research over the last couple decades has shown clearly that multi-sensory learning is the sweet spot of education. Children learn uniquely, have stress, feel poorly, have learning disabilities, struggle with social issues, and face a host of other distracting difficulties.  The variety of multi-sensory learning helps draw and keep children’s attention. That variety has proven to be invaluable to children in the traditional school system and private and home schools, as well as children with learning disabilities or autism. All types of...

Learning through music is one of the most powerful methods out there. Not only does music help kids decode the rhythms and sounds of language for easier digestion, it promotes self-expression, boosts memory, and encourages concentration. Plus it’s fun! Kids like to sing, dance, clap their hands, and be joyful. Music is auditory, rhythmic, creative, and a learned skill – all at once. Here at Sube, we love that healthy children play in all of the multiple intelligences they are born with. Given a chance, they play with others, think within themselves, track patterns, remember melodies, draw and color, communicate...

When Sube talks about using multi-sensory language learning, what exactly do we mean? Well, our method is based on psychologist Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences. Gardner believes that human intelligence manifests in eight different ways: interpersonal, intrapersonal, logical-mathematical, naturalist, spatial (visual), bodily-kinesthetic, linguistic, and musical. Understanding that there are that many manifestations of intelligence certainly helps a person realize that no two children will learn the same way. Instead of trying to adapt to teach each individual child who sits in our classroom, why not teach in a multi-sensory fashion that reaches each kid naturally, right where they are?...
