How they fit together

Three ways families use these

Alongside Spanish 1 or 2Run a unit study during a review week or a holiday break. Same Spanish, different muscle. The Christmas unit lands perfectly in weeks 15–16.
As the gatewayNot ready to commit to a full year? A $5–13 unit study is the cheapest way to find out whether learning-in-Spanish works in your house.
With another curriculum entirelyThe readers and the journal are deliberately program-agnostic. If you're already using something else, these still fit.

Ready for the whole year instead?

The unit studies are the snack. The 35-week curriculum is the meal: a full year, already sequenced, that you can teach without speaking Spanish.
