When struggling to keep your student engaged, take a step back and think - Is he having fun? Is this easy?

Review concepts he already knows like colors, or numbers through something like telling time!

To say: 

It's one o'clock = Es la una. 1:00

It's two o'clock = Son las dos. 2:00

It's three o'clock = Son las tres. 3:00

Draw boxes with the : in them, and let your child write the numbers in as you tell the time.

At four o'clock = A las cuatro.... 4:00

At five o'clock = A las cinco... 5:00

We're going to use = Vamos a usar...

Suddenly, you can say: At four o'clock we're going to use blue and the book. (A las cuatro, vamos a usar azul y el libro.) Your child will watch for 4:00 to come around on the kitchen microwave time, and can pick up his blue Crayon, ready to work through another page of his Flip Flop Spanish Workbook!
