What Are Palabras de Uso Frecuente?

Palabras de uso frecuente are the most commonly used words in the Spanish language, essential for everyday communication. They’re equivalent to words like "the," "and," or "is" in English. In Spanish, examples include soy (I am), un (a), ella (she), and mamá (mom). These words frequently appear in both spoken and written language, making them crucial for early learners to recognize and use fluently. By using playdough to form these words, students not only practice vocabulary but also improve their fine motor skills and letter recognition.
