Build Fluency and Comprensión Lectora para Niños with These Fun Hands-On Activities

Teaching kids to read is super important, but it's not just about knowing words; it's about understanding what we read. Many of our emerging readers can say words, but sometimes they have trouble really getting what they're reading. 

In this blog post, we're going to check out two engaging activities that can help make reading easier to understand for our students. These are tried-and-true activities that I use every year because they've helped my students so much. So, let's get started!

 1. Sentence to Picture Match in Spanish

para Niños)

Matching sentences with pictures is a great way to help kids understand what they're reading. This activity is all about making sure they "get" the story, not just saying the words. 

Here are some ways to use the "Match Sentences to Pictures in Spanish" set with your students of various ages and reading stages:

♥For Beginners: Have children match each sentence to the corresponding picture.

♥For Non-Readers: Read the sentence aloud and ask them to find the matching picture.

♥Descriptive Writing: Encourage students to describe the scene using only the picture cards, and then have them write their own sentence.

♥Challenge Mode: Present a few sentences to match or all of them at once for a more challenging activity. 

♥ Literacy Center: Set up a station with a pocket chart or use it as a tabletop activity.

2. Incorporating Technology

Incorporating technology into the classroom can be a game-changer when it comes to keeping students engaged while working on important reading skills.

"Leer y Comprender Oraciones Sencillas" or "Read and Comprehend Simple Sentences" Boom Cards in Spanish are digital task cards designed to do just that. Let's see why they've become a favorite resource for both me and my students.

Bringing technology into the classroom can make reading more fun and help students understand better. "Leer y Comprender Oraciones Sencillas" or "Read and Understand Simple Sentences" Boom Cards in Spanish are like digital learning games made just for this. Here's why they're great for us teachers:
