Inside this post, you can find a wide selection of children’s picture books to learn Spanish alphabet with your preschooler today.
Lennox is entering his last half-year of preschool before he heads off into kindergarten.
That means I only have a handful of months left to provide him with as much minority language use as I can, and I want to do this by teaching him the foundations of reading and writing in Spanish.
That’s why this month, I will be publishing a series of posts to help your child begin reading and writing in Spanish based on resources that I have found and what has worked for Lennox and me at home.
I will kick this series off with today’s post, a compilation of children’s picture books in Spanish to learn about the Spanish alphabet.
Then, I will make some printables and share some activities to help your child learn their letters and share some resources to embark on your child’s reading and writing journey in Spanish! Stay tuned!
Below, you can find a list of 23 alphabet picture books in Spanish. I have separated them into some categories since I was overwhelmed with the amount of material I found. You can find the following selections in this post:
- Alphabet books in Spanish with a cultural touch
- ABC books about emotions
- Alphabet books in Spanish with a protagonist
- ABCs and animals in Spanish
- and more ABC books
Make sure to check them out and find which book will adhere to your child’s interest!
