How to use these mats:

Begin by speaking the target word slowly and showing a picture of the word you want your students to segment on the mat. Say the word  slowly. Ask your student to say the word again, this time segmenting the sounds. Go over the sounds in words. Students should be reminded that words are made up of sounds. Tell them they'll be practicing hearing all of the sounds in a word. Make it clear that kids should concentrate on the sounds they hear rather than the letters they see.

 

Put the word together. Swipe your pointer finger under the letters from left to right while slowly reading the word and looking at the letters.  

Finally your students will write the word under the boxes.

It's critical that we have a number of tactics we may utilize to appropriately and successfully support children as they learn to read. Children will improve their spelling, writing, and reading skills using these Phonemic Awareness Mats in Spanish
