¡Leer en español es fácil! Segundo semestre: fonética española (FLEX)

Learning to read is the basic foundation to help language learners increase their vocabulary to become fluent in the target language. Knowledge of letter names is preferred, but not necessary for this class. It is implied in the videos of previous knowledge of letter names, however, this class can be taken in conjunction with learning letter names.

I introduce Spanish letter phonics in an order that will have learners reading words from the first week. Each week on the selected day of the week at 8am Central Time, I will post a new pre-recorded video to view for instruction for that week. Learners are expected to repeat out loud the letter sounds and words while watching the video. I give time during the video so that they are able to do so.

Worksheets will be posted in the classroom section along with the video. These worksheets are designed to help learners practice what is introduced during the pre-recorded video sent for the week. They are brief, simple, and engaging. Learners can complete the worksheets at their own pace, with a preference for completing one worksheet a day for daily practice.

For review sessions, learners will have the option to send a video of themselves reading the review words and I will send feedback via video.

Here is the breakdown of the class:

Week 1: Letter sounds for vowels and 3 consonants
Week 2: Letter sounds for 4 consonants and review
Week 3: Letter sounds for 6 consonants
Week 4: Letter sounds for 6 consonants
Week 5: Letter sounds for 3 consonants and review
Week 6: Letter sounds for 3 diagraphs and review
Week 7: Letter sounds for 1 digraph & 2 consonants and review
Week 8: Review
