 The Power Glide
Junior Adventure courses are for children K-5th grade. Everybody knows that the best time
to acquire languages and a life-long love for them is when we are children! Until now it
has been difficult to find language courses for smaller children that are more than just
listen and repeat. But Power Glide has them.

The course is designed so that even very young children can do it on their own.
However, for the best learning experience, we recommend parents do it with their children,
and families do it together. That's why Power Glide created the Parent's Complete
Reference Guide. This unique tool includes a page-by-page commentary with a copy of
the page your children are on in their Children's Activity Book, as well as
instructions, objectives, lesson plans, tips, cultural information, kid-friendly recipes,
and suggestions for additional activities you can do as a family. The Children's Course
could aptly be called: a "Side by Side" Course
The course includes many diglot weave stories, with preparation and follow-up
activities, plus a helpful twist especially for children: pictures instead of words. Our
older student diglot weaves combine written words. In the Children's Course, we use
pictures. For example, in the story of "The Farmer and the Turnip," we introduce
words for the story with pictures.
The Junior Adventure Series is available in
French, German, as a one-year course with
three activity books. Some sets come with cassettes and some with audio CD's .

Go from beginning to advanced levels in one course
Power-Glide Ultimate Adventure Courses are easy enough for beginners, but
robust enough to take you through the equivalent of 2-3 years of high-school
study. And since Power-Glide is fully accredited through the Northwest
Association of Schools and Colleges, you're assured of quality and ease of
obtaining credit.
Speak the language, not just pass the test
The focus of these courses is to help you learn to speak a new language
freely and expressively. You won't find mazes of grammar rules, boring
rote memorization, and mind-numbing drills. Instead, Power-Glide gives you
real language learning—the kind where you actually internalize the language, and
begin to use it as your own.
Puzzles, games, stories, music
The activities in the courses are diverse enough to accommodate many
different learning styles and aptitudes. You'll find music, stories, memory
aids, Diglot Weaves, you-are-there adventures, kinesthetic, visual, audio
activities, and more. In addition, Power-Glide can be used:
- with or without a teacher
- in groups or individually and self-paced
What you will learn in this course:
- Numbers
- Gender
- Please & Thank You
- Pronouns
