How to run it
Read the five syllables in order until they are automatic, then read the words. The words are all two syllables beginning with the target, so a child who has the syllable can read the word with one more step. Ask the child to name another word starting with each syllable, which is the generative version and much harder than reading.
Cueing ladder
Start at the top. Add support one step at a time.

Adjust it
Use fewer cards and start with the patterns the student already reads, such as 'lata' and 'lobo'.
Read the words in a sentence, or spell them from dictation.
Matching IEP goal
Given decodable word cards, such as 'lata' and 'lobo', Student will read the target pattern accurately in 8 of 10 words across 3 consecutive sessions, given no more than a visual cue.

Five open syllables and five words built from them: la, le, li, lo, lu, then lata, lobo, luna, lima, lupa. Spanish reading instruction is built on the syllable rather than the individual phoneme, because Spanish syllables are consistent — la says la every time — and this deck is the standard shape that instruction takes.
What to listen for
Watch whether the child reads the syllable as a unit or sounds out two letters. La read as one thing is the goal; l plus a assembled each time is slower and is what syllable instruction is designed to replace. Notice luna and lupa, which share a first syllable and differ in the second — a good pair for checking the child is reading both halves.
Carrying it home
These syllables are everywhere in Spanish print. Pointing at la or lo in a book and asking for it takes two seconds, and the recognition builds through frequency rather than length of practice.

Questions
- Is this board in Spanish?
- Yes, the syllables and words are Spanish. This page is in English so an English-speaking clinician can find and evaluate it.
- Is it free?
- Yes, all ten items play with no account.
- Why teach syllables rather than individual sounds?
- Because Spanish syllables are highly consistent — la always says la — which makes the syllable a reliable unit. It is the standard approach in Spanish reading instruction for that reason.
