Aprender a leer Español

Master the ability to read by sounding out letters, rather than reciting their names.

Master the ability to read.

The second crucial participant in a child’s learning is the adult who guides them. This adult can perform specific exercises with the child, allowing them to observe mouth movements and understand proper lip placement for correct sound pronunciation.

To achieve this, we choose a set of less complex alphabet letters, using them to form animal names and common everyday words. In this method, the focus is on the letter's SOUND, not its name.

Initially, adults should practice with the child, remembering that reading is a process. Later, the child can use the application independently, with occasional joint practice sessions. After some time, adults can navigate to the “Discover the Word” section and conduct exercises with the child:

1- Ask the child to sound out the letters that form the word TREE.

2- After practicing for a while, ask: "What did you say?"

3- Never tell the child the word they sounded out.

Repeat this process, encouraging the child to say the sounds of the word TREE more quickly. This will shorten the pause between each letter's pronunciation. Continue this exercise, resisting the urge to reveal the word. One day, when asked "What did you say?", the child will exclaim: "I said TREE!" That is the moment to celebrate—the child has started to read.

Soon, you will notice a growing curiosity to read every word encountered. This is the time to gradually introduce more complex letter patterns, such as the letter C, which sometimes has a soft sound (sky) and other times a hard sound (house), depending on the surrounding letters. Other alphabet letters not previously included will also emerge. Remember to respect each child's individual pace and learning journey.
