Learn to read Spanish

Learning to read Spanish and mastering the alphabet is a crucial skill, especially for children in preschool and early elementary years. It sets the foundation for all their future academic and professional endeavors. Given that today's kids are digital natives, we can leverage their love for computers and tablets to reinforce and enhance what they're learning in school.

Method

Our method, designed for children aged 3 to 6 or 7 and even adults looking to improve their pronunciation, uses phonics to teach Spanish reading. It's broken down into a section for tracing letters and 30 lessons, starting with vowels and progressing through consonants and digraphs like 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, perfect for parents and educators wanting to practice early syllables and words in Spanish. Encourage your child to listen and tackle the exercises, understanding that it's not necessary to grasp everything at once. Remember, learning to read is a gradual process that may take over a year. We suggest practicing a few minutes daily, revisiting learned material periodically, and always adjusting the exercise type and level to keep it fun and game-like.

Levels

All games come with two adjustable difficulty levels, allowing children to progress at their own pace and pause and resume play as needed. Completing games earns them fruits, adding a fun incentive. The first level suits children as young as three, with some even younger, with assistance from parents or educators. It's solvable with the help of the game's instructions. The second level is more challenging, encouraging children to solve it independently while keeping learning enjoyable. As caregivers, ensure the difficulty matches the child's abilities without pressuring them to rush through levels.

Abilities

This method helps develop various skills, including:

• Visual and auditory memorization
• Identification and association
• Discrimination
• Understanding
• Literacy

Options

From the home screen, you can:

• Enable or disable background music
• Play in full screen

In the Tikis menus, you can:

• Change the font to uppercase, lowercase, or cursive handwriting
• Enable or disable automatic activity, which switches games after a set number of exercises
• Shuffle the syllables for varied practice

Achievements

You can set up to three profiles for different children, tracking each one's progress, correct and incorrect answers, and their achievement percentage, represented as fruits. These fruits motivate kids to keep playing; once collected, you can "give" them to little aliens by clicking on the basket. For a comprehensive view of progress, press the reports button on the Tikis screen.
