¡A Volar! is a new 5-level primary Spanish course from Collins, offering a fun and engaging approach to language learning.

Developed to meet the requirements of primary school curriculums, ¡A Volar! introduces the Spanish language to children in a highly accessible format for beginners and young learners, with careful progression through the levels. Lively, colourful illustrations, fact boxes, games, and toe-tapping songs all help to communicate the learning objectives in a fun and active way.

Level 4 builds on the core areas of previous levels while also introducing new topics and vocabulary as the units progress. With many and varied opportunities for the teachers to engage the students in active learning, it also includes reading, writing and speaking activities.

All pupil books include specially-commissioned songs and audio for listening and speaking exercises and pronunciation of vocabulary. The audio elements will expose students to new material, helping them learn actively and absorb Spanish naturally.

As well as covering the key vocabulary outlined in the syllabuses, the addition of cultural spreads at key points throughout the course give ample opportunity for the teacher to explore cultural connections and differences between their own culture and their neighbouring countries, ranging from cultural traditions to the more specific comparisons of music, food, dance, festivals, and environments.

Levels 3 and 4 also include a grammar section offering easy reference for students.

Audio is available to download from collins.co.uk/pages/international-caribbean-resources.

Designed to complement the main coursebooks, the workbooks provide additional material for practice and reinforcement. Carefully graded exercises allow students to revisit and revise the core vocabulary and language points of each unit, while review sections at regular intervals allow for further consolidation and can be used for assessment purposes.

Build on infant foundations to develop the reading and language skills needed by 7 to 11 year olds in Books 1-4, and consolidate and reinforce these skills with Book 5 for the final year of Primary School.
