Teacher tip

Play a quick action game: say a room and let kids act out what they do there, like sleeping in el dormitorio.

How to use it

• Let kids talk about their own families only as much as they want; every kind of family counts.
• Read the short texts out loud first, then have kids read them to a partner.
• Say every Spanish word out loud and have kids echo it before they read or write it.

Watch for

Reading El hermano de mi mamá as my brother’s mom. De works like of: the brother of my mom.

Talk about it

• What room do you like best?
• Does this word look like an English word you know?
