Aprendamos a leer en español (A1)

In this ongoing class, we will learn Spanish vowel and letter sounds, and will also learn to connect letter sounds. We will also learn to make proper letter pronunciation. 

We will work on all the Spanish alphabet and will put a special focus on those Spanish letters that have different sounds from English letters.

We will focus on the letter sound, not the letter name.

This class is excellent to help students with their Spanish pronunciation as we focus on the proper letter/vowel sounds.

Note: To take this class, students must know the letter sounds of the English alphabet. They must be able to write the letters of the alphabet. This class is an A1 level based on the CEFR.

I will first introduce the letter, modeling its sound and providing students with multiple opportunities of practice. We will practice it through a fun song and class exercises.
Then, we will make different letter combinations to be able to read from letters to syllables to words and to short sentences.
We will also reinforce learning through games and lots of fun practice.

*The class schedule and content is subject to change in order to accommodate students' needs. This program runs once a week for 15 weeks. 
This class meets once a week, but the classes or themes DO NOT build on each other, as we will focus on a specific letter each class so if you miss a class, you can jump right back in! The topics will cycle back to the beginning once completed.

My classes are limited to five students so that each one will have an equal opportunity to practice and receive timely correction. I am a native Spanish speaker and an ELE (Spanish as a Foreign Language) certified teacher. I am an energetic, friendly, and patient teacher. 

I can't wait to help you read in Spanish and have fun!
