Learn to read Spanish

Learning to read Spanish and mastering the alphabet is a crucial skill that lays the foundation for a child's educational journey and future success. It's essential to start this learning process early, ideally during preschool and the initial years of elementary school, as it significantly impacts their academic and professional life.

Children today are digital natives, naturally drawn to computers and tablets. Leveraging this affinity can enhance their learning experience, reinforcing what they're already studying in school.

Method

Our method, "Learn to Read Spanish with Phonics," is tailored for children aged 3 to 6 or 7, and even adults looking to refine their pronunciation. The program is structured into a section for tracing letters and 30 lessons, beginning with vowels and progressing through consonants and digraphs such as L, M, S, T, P, N, D, F, H, C, Q, CH, G, GUE, R, -rr-, B, V, J, GE, GUE, Y, Z, CE, LL, X, K.

Each lesson includes 11 engaging games, available at two difficulty levels, making it an excellent resource for parents and educators to help children practice their first syllables and words in Spanish. Encourage the child to listen and engage with the exercises; full comprehension isn't necessary at this stage.

Learning to read is a gradual process that may take over a year. We recommend daily practice sessions, revisiting previously learned material, and adjusting the exercises to suit the child's pace. It's crucial that this learning feels like a game to keep the child motivated and engaged.

Levels

All games feature two difficulty levels, which can be adjusted at any time. Children can progress at their own pace, with the flexibility to pause and resume later. As they complete games, they earn fruits as rewards.

The first level is designed for children as young as three, and sometimes even younger with parental or educator assistance. At this level, games can be solved with the help of the instructions. The second level is more challenging, encouraging children to solve problems independently while ensuring the learning experience remains enjoyable.

As a parent or guardian, it's important to match the difficulty level to the child's abilities without pressuring them to rush through the levels.

Abilities

Our program enhances several key skills:

• Visual and auditory memorization
• Identification and association
• Discrimination
• Understanding
• Literacy

Options

On the home screen, users can:

• Enable or disable background music
• Choose to play in full screen

Within the Tikis menus, additional options include:

• Changing the font to uppercase, lowercase, or cursive handwriting
• Enabling or disabling automatic activity, which switches to another game after a set number of exercises
• Shuffling the syllables for varied practice

Achievements

The program allows for up to three profiles (avatars) for different children, tracking each child's progress, correct and incorrect answers, and representing their achievements as a percentage in the form of fruits. These fruits serve as a fun motivator, encouraging children to continue playing. When fruits are collected, they can be given to little aliens by clicking on the basket.

For a detailed overview of progress, users can press the reports button on the Tikis screen.
