The solution: Designed for Spanish, not borrowed from English

A simple, explicit, systematic, and cumulative approach

And a book in every hand.

¡Comienzo a aprender! is created entirely in Spanish for pre-schoolers, with developmentally appropriate, explicit instruction and systematic review. Children begin by playing with sounds and vocabulary, progressing to simple decodable books by year’s end when they’re ready.

A continuous learning progression

¡Comienzo a aprender! includes six copies of each book. Every title building on the last and creating a clear, step-by-step progression.

Serie 1 • Semanas 1–14

Libros de sonidos

20 titles introduce each letter and sound individually, beginning with the five vowels and progressing through the most frequent consonants in Spanish.

Serie 2 • Semanas 15–28

Libros de palabras

40 titles combine those sounds into syllables and real words, with teacher support provided at each stage.

Serie 3 • Semanas 29–33

Libros decodificables

10 titles that bring all skills together, allowing students to read connected, decodable texts using only the sounds, syllables, and words introduced earlier.

29 poems

One for every sound.

Each of the 27 letters and two digraphs is introduced with its own poem, each written in a fun and engaging way, and built from words that begin with that sound. Alisa chases an ardilla nibbling avellanas. These poems go beyond simple word lists, offering stories with beautiful vocabulary that children want to revisit.
