Aprender a leer Español

Learn to read by pronouncing letter sounds, not their names.

Learn to read.

The second key player in a child's learning journey is the adult guiding them. By doing specific exercises together, the adult can model the mouth movements and lip positions needed to produce sounds correctly.

We start with a selected group of simpler alphabet letters, using them to form animal names and common words. In this program, we focus on the SOUND of each letter, not its name.

Initially, adults should practice with the child, remembering that reading is a process. Later, the child can use the app independently, with adults rejoining for practice sessions periodically. After some time, adults can go to the “Discover the Word” section and engage in these exercises with the child:

1- Ask the child to pronounce the sounds of the letters that form the word TREE.

2- After practicing for a while, ask: “What did you say?”

3- Never tell the child the word they spoke.

Repeat this activity, encouraging the child to say the sounds for the word "tree" more quickly, thereby shortening the pause between each sound. Continue this exercise, resisting the urge to tell them the word. One day, when you ask “What did you say?” the child will exclaim, “I said TREE!” That’s a moment to celebrate—the child has begun to read.

Soon, you'll notice a growing eagerness to read every word encountered. This is the time to gradually introduce more complex letter patterns, such as the letter C, which sometimes has a soft sound (sky) and other times a hard sound (house), depending on the letters around it. The remaining letters of the alphabet not yet included will also be introduced. Remember to respect each child's unique pace and learning process.
