Teacher tip
Write the noun ending and the describing word ending in the same color so kids can see that they match.
How to use it
- Teach one rule at a time and give two examples before kids try one.
- Color code: one color for el words and another for la words.
- Say every Spanish word out loud and have kids echo it before they read or write it.
Watch for
Thinking every word ending in -a is a la word. Most are, but a few like el día are not.
Talk about it
- How can you tell if a word is an el word or a la word?
- How do you say that in Spanish?
