If teaching your students to read and write in Spanish feels overwhelming at the start of the year, then you're not alone. In this post I'll share the good news that building a strong Spanish reading routine doesn't have to be complicated--it just needs to be consistent.
A solid lectoescritura (reading and writing) routine helps your students make daily progress in both reading fluency and spelling. It also connects phonics, writing,, and comprehension in a way that makes sense for Spanish--a language built on predictable syllable patterns.
Here's What a Simple Spanish Reading Routine can Look Like:
- Dictados: Introduce one syllable or phonics pattern (for example: ma, me, mi, mo, mu). Students listen, write and check their work--strengthening the connection between sound and spelling.
- Shared Reading: Read a short passage set to familiar kid-tunes that uses the same patterns.
- Practice Centers: Use syllable sorts, vocabulary cards, and hands-on games to reinforce what you've taught.
When you repeat this process daily, students don't just memorize words--they understand how the Spanish language works.
