Magical Translations® Mode
WHERE ‘COMPREHENSIBLE INPUT’ BEGINS
The First Step in Teaching Children Spanish
Your child sees only the Spanish text but they hear it read aloud with a rhythmic English translation seamlessly woven in. This ensures comprehension!
This unique approach delivers ‘Comprehensible Input’—the secret to subconscious language acquisition.

After the narration, let the fun begin! Encourage your child to tap and explore the page’s delightful interactions. Through play and context, they’ll naturally absorb more Spanish words without even realizing it.
Already fluent? Switch to ‘Spanish Only’ in the settings! 
Daily storytime in Spanish is perfect for building vocabulary, fluency, and confidence—even for native speakers. 🌟
Aren’t translations bad for language learning? Translations can be counterproductive if they are written down, because they become permanent crutches that inhibit learning. Our translations are spoken, therefore temporary, and their sole purpose is to make the page comprehensible – they key to successful language acquisition.
Do you always use translations? No! This first mode is the only mode where we use the Magical Translations to read the story. After doing this mode once (or twice for some kids), they’ll understand the gist of each page, regardless of which other Spanish-only mode they’re in.
