How to run it
Say the word, have the child clap the syllables, then build it. Lu-na and lo-bo are two claps each, and building syllable by syllable rather than letter by letter is what matches the way Spanish reading is taught. Keep the five bare syllables first, since a child who can write la and lo has the pieces for every word here.

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.

The five l syllables and five words — la, le, li, lo, lu, lata, lobo, luna, lima, lupa — as a spelling task. Derived from the flashcard deck. Spanish spelling is close to phonetic, so a child who can hear the syllables can usually write them, which makes this a good check on whether the syllable is a unit yet.
What to listen for
Watch whether the child writes in syllable chunks or letter by letter. Writing lu then na is faster and more accurate than five separate letters, and it shows the syllable is functioning as a unit. Notice lima and luna, where the vowels differ and the consonants match — a good check that both halves are being heard.
Carrying it home
Ask a child to write or say the syllables of a word before spelling it. Lu-na takes two seconds and is exactly the routine Spanish reading instruction uses.
