Decodable Spanish Book for Early Readers: Mascotas

Mascotas is a Spanish decodable reader designed for beginning readers developing phonological awareness and syllable fluency. Through lovable animals, students practice identifying open and closed syllables, segmenting words, and building reading comprehension.

Build Syllable Awareness and Word Recognition

Students become “word detectives” as they explore open syllables and closed syllables. Using examples from the story, readers learn to break words into syllables and strengthen their understanding of Spanish phonics patterns.

Strengthen Vocabulary and Fluency

This text supports fluency development and pronunciation practice. 

Encourage Comprehension and Expression

Guided questions invite students to think about how animals behave and communicate.These comprehension prompts deepen understanding and encourage students to write or speak about what they learn.

Aligned with the Science of Reading

Mascotas aligns with the Ciencia de la Lectura (Science of Reading in Spanish), offering structured phonics and syllable-based instruction that builds decoding, blending, and comprehension. This systematic approach supports bilingual literacy and confidence in early readers.

Perfect for:

Pre-K, Kindergarten, and Grade 1 classrooms, dual-language programs, and families supporting Spanish reading at home.
