This Spanish workbook has typical lectoescritura activities, meaning exercises for learning to read and write. These activities also teach vocabulary to Spanish language learners because they are supported by pictures and there is considerable repetition.

Some of the exercises in the Spanish workbook include:

  • Associating vocabulary with pictures by drawing a line, completing a word, or labeling a picture.
  • Matching sentences to pictures.
  • Ordering syllables.
  • Writing the missing syllable.
  • Poems and songs with the focus vocabulary.
  • Simple puzzles such as crosswords and word searches.
  • Writing a sentence describing what is happening in a picture
  • Writing a story based on a series of 4 pictures

 Early reading books like this Spanish workbook are great supplemental material for Spanish learners. They expose kids to natural phrasing, structures and vocabulary. Kids need a wide variety of comprehensible language.  The language in this Spanish workbook is a good way to add variety and depth for Spanish learners. You can read Aprendiendo a leer on issuu.

    Excellent book. It will be really useful for those children who are fluent or almost fluent in Spanish and need more vocabulary. They will start making the connection of how we write in Spanish. I will definitely use it with my 6 year old kids! Gracias por compartir!

    The option to download is on the share button on the bottom navigation bar. Click share and you will get the option to download or embed. You will need a free issuu account to download the content.

    Thanks for this site. I’m tutoring Spanish to my niece, I’m retired now and lack of materials made me search for sites to help with already printable one, your site is great for small children.Thanks again.
