👇🏼Full tutorial and info I started making these three years ago and I LOVE getting these out every season. They can be Christmas trees or just a tribute to our lovely winter conifers - either way it’s the perfect season for them. Kite paper seasonal crafts are a favorite way for me to decorate, teach my kids a craft, and boost our Spanish. This craft goes perfectly with the upcoming episode of my Spanish podcast for kids ¡Hola Nature! Where we learn all about conifers 🌲🤩 Want the full tutorial? Comment CONIFER below and I’ll send you the info on where to find it.

So often we focus on CVC blending (consonant, vowel, consonant) and many kids struggle with this. There are smaller steps you can take before you jump right into blending words from individual sounds, and syllable blending is an awesome place to start. Pick easy two syllable words (Spanish is FULL of them) and use the simple hand motion of holding each syllable in your hands as you say them, then bring it together when you blend the word into one. I feel like English learners don’t do this as much because we don’t learn with syllables as much as we do in Spanish (due to its syllabic nature) - let me know if it works well for your English learners too!
