Teacher tip
Hand out real crayons and have kids hold up the one you name in Spanish before they trace the word.
How to use it
- Draw shapes on the board and let kids call out the Spanish names.
- Hold up a crayon and say the color; have kids find something that color in the room.
- Say every Spanish word out loud and have kids echo it before they read or write it.
Watch for
Coloring before reading. Ask kids to point to the word and say it first.
