How to run it

Read each moment aloud in Spanish, playing the speaker, and let the student choose and say the question to you. Answer helpfully every time so asking feels safe. Then practice in a real task: give directions a little fast on purpose and wait for the student to ask. Point out the difference between ¿me lo puede repetir? for adults and ¿me lo repites? for friends.

Adjust it

Easier

Offer two repairs to choose from, and play the confused listener with a clear huh? signal.

Harder

Signal confusion with only a look, and expect the student to notice and repair without a prompt.

Matching IEP goal

Given conversation scenarios, Student will choose or produce a repair (rephrasing, adding detail or asking a clarifying question) when a listener or speaker is confused in 8 of 10 opportunities across 3 consecutive sessions, given no more than an indirect prompt.

About this activity

Six moments in Spanish where the student did not understand: a teacher who spoke too fast, a friend's cancha de siempre, an unfamiliar word like diminuto, a noisy cafeteria, a dad who says tráeme eso, and confusing game rules. The student chooses a clear way to ask. The questions use the forms children really need, including usted for a teacher and tú for a friend.

What to listen for

Notice whether the student chooses guessing or pretending options like ajá, which can mean asking feels risky. Listen for specific questions, such as asking which cancha, rather than a general ¿qué? Notice whether the student adjusts tú and usted to the listener; that is a pragmatic skill of its own in Spanish.

Carrying it home

At home, families can welcome questions and thank the child for asking. When giving directions, invite questions: ¿quieres que te lo repita? Adults can model asking too: perdón, no te escuché. Children who see adults ask without embarrassment are more willing to ask at school, in either language.
