Build Phonemic Awareness. Strengthen Spanish Literacy. Teach with Intention.

Students learning to read and spell in Spanish need explicit, language-specific instruction.
For this reason, they do not need translated materials.

Letras magnéticas de foam are a Spanish-first instructional tool, NOT translated from English. Designed for whole-group and small-group instruction, these foam magnets support explicit instruction in Spanish phonemic awareness and early decoding through hands-on, multisensory learning.

Grounded in the Science of Reading, these magnets make Spanish letter–sound relationships and Spanish syllable (sílabas) building visible, concrete, and teachable. As a result, they support literacy instruction in dual language, bilingual, and Spanish literacy classrooms.

This is not an add-on or a translation.
Instead, it is intentionally built for Spanish reading development.

DISTRICT JUSTIFICATION

This Spanish-first instructional tool supports literacy and explicit phonics instruction aligned with the Science of Reading

Since the magnets are large and multisensory, they strengthen phonemic awareness and decoding by making letter–sound relationships highly visible and easy to manipulate. Additionally, they support Spanish literacy instruction across both core and intervention settings.

For these reasons, the tool is designed for easy adoption and supports piloting and scaling Spanish phonics instruction across classrooms and schools.

BUILT TO WORK AS A SYSTEM

For maximum impact, pair with:

✔ Spanish – Letras y Sílabas Magnéticas (sold separately)
Uses the same color-coding system, allowing students to follow along at their desks while the teacher models word building with the large foam magnets.
