How to run it

Call one sound group at a time until you know where the student is. Twenty-five mixed words spends most of a session on sounds that are already fine. Ask for the word before the square is covered, and for a phrase before the second — a lotería board is a lot of repetitions dressed up as a game, and requiring the phrase doubles them. Fifteen minutes is a full board.

Cueing ladder

Start at the top. Add support one step at a time.

  1. Step 1IndependentThe student works through the card on their own, listening for their target sound.Log as correct
  2. Step 2SignalUse a silent signal you agreed on, such as a tap on the table, when their target sound slips.Log as cued
  3. Step 3AskAsk 'Did that sound right?' and let the student try the word again.Log as cued
  4. Step 4ModelSay the word correctly; the student repeats it, then carries on.Log as cued

Adjust it

Easier

Use fewer cards and one target sound at a time.

Harder

Fade the signal. Record the student and have them count their own errors afterwards.

Matching IEP goal

During this activity, Student will produce their target sound correctly in words and phrases, self-correcting any error, in 8 of 10 opportunities across 3 consecutive sessions, given no more than a nonverbal signal.

About this activity

Twenty-five Spanish words grouped by target sound: sol, sopa, silla, sapo and sal for /s/; ratón, rojo, rueda, río and rosa for /r/; luna, lápiz, leche, libro and lobo for /l/; chico, coche, chaqueta, mochila and noche for /ch/; niño, araña, uña, montaña and piña for /ñ/. The /ñ/ group is the one with no English equivalent and the reason a Spanish board is needed rather than a translated one.

What to listen for

Listen for the /ñ/ words specifically. It is a palatal nasal with no English counterpart, and a bilingual student may produce it as /n/ plus /y/ — niño as ninio — which is worth distinguishing from a genuine difficulty. Watch the /r/ group, where a single tap and a trill are different sounds in Spanish and substituting one for the other changes words.

Carrying it home

Sol, luna, leche and noche are everyday words in a Spanish-speaking home. Asking the family to notice one word rather than a sound gives them something concrete, and it works in the language they actually use.

Questions

Is this board in Spanish?
Yes, all twenty-five words are Spanish. This page is in English so an English-speaking clinician can find and evaluate it.
Do I need an account?
No, it plays free with no login.
Which sounds here do not exist in English?
The /ñ/ as in niño, and the trilled r. Neither has an English equivalent, which is why they need Spanish practice material rather than a translated English deck.
