Online Free Spanish has added more syllable activities. This set uses the letter m plus the vowels: ma, me, mi, mo, mu. These activities are perfect for beginning Spanish readers and are also a good way to expose kids to new words. You can read more about why these activities work so well for children learning Spanish and find suggestions for additional activities using the printed pages here: Spanish syllable activities.
These syllable activities have several parts that build on each other. First, the syllables are pronounced with native-speaker audio. Each syllable is used in words and there are images to make the meaning of the words clear. The words are then used in sentences, and the sentences also have pictures so that children will understand them. There is audio for the syllables, the words and the sentences. Use the right-left arrows to move through the vowel sounds: ma, me, mi, mo, mu. Use the up-down arrows to see and hear the words for each syllable used in sentences.
I tell my students to just listen first and then encourage them to repeat, copying the pronunciation. Here are a few other ideas for reinforcing Spanish syllables with your child:
– Look for the syllables in stories, songs, labels and the calendar. Wherever you see Spanish text, you will be able to find them.
– See how many words you can find with syllables of a certain letter in a (short!) story.
– Make additional activities using the images and words from OnlineFreeSpanish. You can print the pages and cut and paste, so they are easy to make.
You many want to add other common words with ma, me, mi, mo, mu. Here are a few more you can use:
ma – maleta, manzana, mano, mapa, tomate
me – mesa, melón, camello
mi – micrófono, amigo, hormiga
mo – mono, molino, remo, moto, moño, moneda, mochila
mu – muñeca, música, museo, muchacha
Try making activities like these:
