Persian for Young Child™ 3 (for 6-year-olds)

A ready-to-teach Persian curriculum for six-year-olds, built for the way young children actually learn a language: by ear, through play, before formal reading and writing. Developed by the Chicago Persian School, a leader in Persian language education since 2007, this curriculum is the same one we use in our own classrooms and is now available online to schools, teachers, and families anywhere in the world. *NOTE: The companion "Student Workbook" is available for purchase on our website, a necessary package for this curriculum. What's inside: A 30-session lesson plan for a two-hour Persian language class, organized around themes from a child's daily life: family, food, clothing, the home, the neighborhood, seasons, transportation, jobs, and more. Each fully scripted session comes with matching pages in the companion Student Workbook. Every lesson includes a vocabulary list and target sentences in Persian, English, and easy transliteration; sound-awareness activities that train the ear; games, crafts, and movement; songs and stories; classroom worksheets; and simple home-practice pages that send the learning home to parents. Our approach: We devote this level entirely to listening, understanding, and speaking. Children learn Persian the same way they learned their first language: they hear it, they play with it, and they begin to speak, building a strong spoken foundation and, just as importantly, a warm relationship with the language that carries them into reading later on. Who it's for: Persian and heritage-language schools wanting a structured, classroom-tested program; teachers who want complete, ready-to-run plans; and homeschooling or heritage families raising Persian-speaking children outside Iran. Designed for children around age six. Companion packages for ages three, four, and five are also available.
