Aprender a leer Español

Learning to read begins with understanding the sounds letters make, rather than memorizing their names. This approach helps children connect speech to print in a meaningful way. The process is most effective when guided by an adult who supports the child through interactive exercises. By modeling correct pronunciation and lip positioning, adults help children develop proper phonetic awareness.

To start, we introduce a simplified set of alphabet letters—those that are easiest to learn—and use them to form familiar words such as animal names and common daily vocabulary. In this method, the focus is always on the letter’s sound, not its name. Initially, adults should practice alongside the child, keeping in mind that reading is a developmental process. Once the child becomes more confident, they can explore the application independently, with periodic return sessions for shared learning.

Guided Reading Exercises

After some time practicing basic sounds, adults can move on to the “Discover the Word” section and try the following steps:

1. Ask the child to pronounce the individual sounds of each letter in the word [ttpp].
2. After practicing the sounds, ask, “What did you say?”
3. Avoid telling the child the word they formed.

Repeat this exercise regularly, encouraging the child to blend the sounds more quickly each time. As the pause between sounds shortens, the word will begin to take shape naturally in their mind. Resist the urge to reveal the word aloud. Eventually, when asked “What did you say?”, the child may proudly respond, “I said [ttpp]!” That moment marks a breakthrough—the child has started to read.

Encouraging Independent Reading

As confidence grows, children often show increasing curiosity about written language, attempting to read signs, labels, and other words they encounter. This is the ideal time to gradually introduce more complex spelling patterns. For instance, the letter C can produce different sounds depending on its context—soft as in "sky" or hard as in "house"—and this variation can be explored using visual and auditory examples. Other less common letters and sounds can also be introduced at this stage. It's essential to remain patient and respect each child’s unique pace and learning journey.
