Learn to read Spanish

Learning to read Spanish and mastering the alphabet is a crucial skill that lays the foundation for a child's educational journey and future success. It's essential to start this learning process early, ideally during preschool and the initial years of elementary school, as it significantly impacts their academic and professional life.

Children today are digital natives, naturally drawn to computers and tablets. Leveraging this affinity can enhance their learning experience, reinforcing what they're already practicing in school.

Method

Our method, "Learn to Read Spanish with Phonics," is tailored for children aged 3 to 6 or 7, and even adults looking to refine their pronunciation. The program is structured into a section for tracing letters and 30 lessons, beginning with vowels and progressing through consonants and digraphs such as L, M, S, T, P, N, D, F, H, C, Q, CH, G, GUE, R, -rr-, B, V, J, GE, GUE, Y, Z, CE, LL, X, K.

Each lesson features 11 engaging games, available at two difficulty levels, making it an excellent resource for parents and educators to help children practice and master their first syllables and words in Spanish. Encourage the child to listen and engage with the exercises; full comprehension isn't necessary at this stage.

Learning to read is a gradual process that may span over a year. We recommend daily practice sessions, revisiting previously learned material, and adjusting the exercises to suit the child's pace. It's crucial that this learning feels like a game to keep the child motivated and engaged.

Levels

All games come with two adjustable difficulty levels, allowing children to progress at their own pace. They can pause and resume games at any time. As children successfully complete games, they earn fruits, adding a fun element to their learning journey.

The first level is designed for children as young as three, and sometimes even younger with parental or educator assistance. At this level, games can be solved with the help of the instructions. The second level presents more complex challenges, encouraging children to solve them independently while ensuring the learning remains enjoyable.

As a parent or guardian, it's important to match the difficulty level to the child's abilities and avoid pressuring them to complete or advance levels prematurely.

Abilities

Our program enhances several key skills:

• Visual and auditory memorization

Achievements

You can set up to three profiles (avatars) for different children, tracking their progress, correct and incorrect answers, and overall performance, represented as a percentage and visually as fruits.

Fruits serve as a motivational tool, encouraging children to continue playing. Once collected, these fruits can be given to little aliens in the game. For a detailed view of progress, click on the reports button on the Tikis screen.
