Harness the Opportunity or The Most Impactful Years
Children’s prime time for language learning is between the ages of 0-5 because their brains are making so many new neural connections. SparkLing™ uses methods tailored specifically to this age group.
Learn the SparkLing™ Method
SparkLing™ is a play-based language learning method. Teachers learn how to use the SparkLing™ Style of Speech and the SparkLing™ Style of Interaction. These strategies help children acquire a new language in a fun and engaging way.
