Reading with AmeliaFrom one vowel to a whole story, read out loud.
Book 1 to Book 4.
Both on the same afternoon.
Andy is eight. Not long ago he could not read a word of Spanish. We asked him to read from Book 1 and then from Book 4 in one sitting, so you can hear both ends of the ladder in under a minute.
Four courses, one clear path.
Start with Syllables
Learn the five Spanish vowels, then pair them with consonants. By the end your child can sound out syllables they have never seen.
- Spanish vowels
- M, P, N, T
- L, S, D
- C, R, B, G
Simple Words, Big Steps
Syllables become whole words, words become short phrases. Your child reads a short phrase without stopping to sound out every letter.
- Vowels and review
- Words and simple phrases
- Hard and soft sounds
- Target vocabulary
Sentences to Stories
Your child builds their own sentences, describes what they see, and reads two and three sentence chains.
- Building sentences
- Yo veo, yo tengo, me gusta
- Color and size
- Sentence chains
Explore Adventures in Reading
Thirteen original stories built from sounds your child has already learned. Amelia reads each one aloud, then your child does.
- Family and home
- Animals and nature
- Places and adventures
- Full sentences read aloud
Take one course, or all four
Your child can read Spanish in four months. Start with vowels, then syllables, then sentences. Each story is built from the sounds and sentence patterns of the books before it, so by the last book your child reads fluently and understands the whole story.
Older beginners are welcome. Your child only needs to be ready to sound out words, regardless of age. Watch a student who did it in four months
