Teacher tip
Read the helper box together first so kids know what each animal is before they hunt for the word.
How to use it
- Use stuffed animals or toy animals as props.
- Point out words that look like English: el elefante, el tigre, el canguro.
- Say every Spanish word out loud and have kids echo it before they read or write it.
Watch for
Matching by the first letter instead of reading the whole word, like gato and gallo.
Talk about it
- Which animal names look like English words?
