Would you buy it if we could source it or make it ourselves? Enough people saying yes is what makes the attempt worth it.

What the child does

Sonidos Iniciales (Spanish Edition) in a child's hands

Sonidos Iniciales, the initial sounds material in Spanish. A child sorts pictures by the sound a word starts with, which is the first step in reading and the one that has to happen in the language the child speaks: the sound a picture starts with changes with the word used for it, so this set only works with Spanish speakers. The cards are in Spanish. Durable card, full colour. The English equivalent is a separate item.

Phonemic Awareness

Develops recognition of initial sounds in Spanish words, building essential pre-⁠reading skills through visual and auditory connections.

Spanish Vocabulary

Expands Spanish language comprehension by associating familiar objects with their written names and beginning sounds.

Visual Discrimination

Strengthens ability to identify and differentiate letter shapes while connecting them to corresponding sounds and images.

Reading Readiness

Prepares children for decoding Spanish text by establishing strong letter-sound relationships through repeated practice.

Activity Guide

How to present it

Arrange 6-⁠8 cards face up on a mat, ensuring clear visibility of both images and Spanish words. Select cards with distinct initial sounds for first presentations.

  1. 1Point to first card's image and name it clearly in Spanish, emphasizing the initial sound
  2. 2Trace the emphasized initial letter while repeating the sound in isolation
  3. 3Invite child to find another card beginning with the same sound
  4. 4Create sound groups by placing cards with matching initial sounds together
3 tips for parents
  • Practice initial sounds during daily routines: 'Busca algo que empiece con /m/' at mealtime
  • Create home sound hunts using the same initial sounds from school cards
  • Speak slowly and clearly, naturally emphasizing beginning sounds in conversation
