Is your young Spanish-speaker ready to explore word recognition? This--led 95-100% in Spanish--class is designed for young children who are already advanced* in Spanish but not yet reading or just starting to learn. Familiarity with letter names and letter sounds, the digits 1-5, and the student's own written name will help, but they may or may not feel confident in these yet. While we will mention letters and letter sounds, we will treat the words more as sight words to recognize. 1. Welcome, 2. Introduce each word (ojos, boca, nariz, Monstruo, tiene, numbers 1-5 written as digits, the learners' names) as we playfully practice recognizing the words, 3. Practice the words together in short sentences, 4. Read together the beginning reader "Mi monstruo" written by the instructor, and 5. Play a game of giving the monster facial features and body parts and/or sing a song about five monsters if time permits. *These students may be--for example--heritage speakers, children who have attended an immersion preschool, or "life-time speakers" with a parent or caregiver who has spoken to them in Spanish since infancy. Students will receive a follow-up worksheet that prompts them to do a drawing in response to recognizing the words we learned in class.
Learning Goals
Students will begin recognizing the words tiene, ojos, nariz, boca, Monstruo, numbers 1-5 written as digits, and their names.

I received a minor in the Spanish language with my bachelor degree (2011). Later, I went on to complete the seven-week, level-five Spanish course at Roca Blanca Spanish School in Catalotepec, Mexico (2018). I have taught group Spanish classes to a variety of ages over a span of six years, five years of which have been online. In 2018-2019, I led a preschool co-op in Spanish, primarily to children who were already fluent. Additionally, I have been raising my children primarily in Spanish since 2016.
