A fun way to practice Spanish Vocabulary!

Leave a comment

¡Hola! These past weeks I have been working on new series of books that I hope will help children read and practice vocabulary words in Spanish.

The first of these books is called “Urix y los objetos.” It is about Urix (one of my alien creatures) and classroom objects. This book comes from far back (1992!) and I finally decided to publish it digitally. This is the cover:

What is really fun about this book is that Urix eats a classroom object and the child has to guess what the alien ate then the next page tells you.

Some of the pages are really funny:

And at the end of the book, Urix invites kids to try and remember all the objects he tried to eat. This provides one more opportunity for children to practice the words.

Purchase options:

You can buy with Paypal and receive a PDF via email ( allow 24 hours):

Digital Book: Urix y los objetos

$3.99

You can also get a Kindle Digital version at Amazon* right HERE, or an immediate file through Teachers Pay Teachers HERE.

I plan to continue creating 4 or 5 books in this series that will touch on other useful vocabulary with other creatures! So come back soon!

¡Muchas Gracias!

I have been there… are you looking for Reading Comprehension material in Spanish? These reading series may be very useful to keep you, your bilingual child, or student practicing reading comprehension in Spanish during the summer! It features My Space Friends© so they are fun and whimsical!

SPANISH READING COMPREHENSION SERIES

LEVEL 1 SERIES A

This series can be used with any student starting around fourth grade, or students that have done some reading in Spanish (words and sentences) and have a basic understanding of its phonics. It is also great for Heritage learners! (Students that already speak Spanish but do not have much practice reading and writing.)

This is the cover:

There are 7 texts or readings in Level 1 that are short, 6 to 12 sentences long. They cover basic vocabulary and topics taught in Spanish classes like: description with colors and adjectives, sentences in simple present using regular verbs, sentences using gustar, the verb “ir” (to go) and “tener”(to have) in third person, the weather and places in the neighborhood. As time goes on I will develop more series covering other topics.

Each reading has the reading in color and black and white:

It also comes with a projection version in color:

I also created a Topic Guide of the grammatical content of the readings. It can help you find a text related to what you are covering in class and use it to complement any unit. By the way, SRC 1A 1 means: Spanish Reading Comprehension Level 1 Series A Reading 1.

You can see and purchase the entire series HERE.
