How to run it
Read the syllables crisply and repeatedly. /t/ cannot be held, so the work here is visual recognition rather than auditory stretching — the child learns to see ta as one thing. Taza and tapa are worth doing together, since they share the first syllable and differ in the second, which checks that both halves are being read.

Adjust it
Use fewer cards and start with the patterns the student already reads, such as 'taza' and 'tela'.
Read the words in a sentence, or spell them from dictation.
Matching IEP goal
Given decodable word cards, such as 'taza' and 'tela', 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: ta, te, ti, to, tu, then taza, tela, tina, toro, tapa. The t syllables usually follow m, p, s and l in Spanish reading instruction, and every word here is two open syllables, which keeps the pattern completely regular.
What to listen for
Watch ta against da if the child has met both, since the two differ only in voicing and are commonly confused. Notice tina and toro, where the vowels differ in both syllables — a child guessing from the first letter will get these wrong and a child reading will not.
Carrying it home
Taza, tela and toro are ordinary words. Pointing at the first syllable in a book takes two seconds, and doing it often is what builds recognition — a syllable seen twenty times in a week is learned better than one drilled for twenty minutes once.

Questions
- Is this activity in Spanish?
- Yes, all ten items are Spanish. The page is in English so an English-speaking clinician can find and evaluate it.
- Is it free?
- Yes, it plays with no account and no card.
- What order should the syllable sets be taught in?
- Commonly m, p, s, l, t and n first, since those consonants are early-developing and their syllables are completely regular. The order matters less than taking each set to automaticity before adding another.
