Teacher tip

Hold up one pencil, then two, and say el lápiz, los lápices to show that the little word changes too.

How to use it

  • Read each finished sentence out loud so kids hear when it sounds right.
  • Teach one rule at a time and give two examples before kids try one.
  • 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

  • What changes when there is more than one?
  • Where could you use this word outside of school?

Take it further

Have kids write five sentences about a pet or a friend using describing words.
