Chispas helps your family learn to read in Spanish: from the very first sounds to reading a whole story, step by step, with a friendly dragon who cheers every win. The app is entirely in Spanish, narrated with a Mexican or a Spain (Castilian) Spanish accent, your choice. A CLEAR, STEP-BY-STEP METHOD • Sounds first: the vowels, then m, p, s, l, t… all the way through the alphabet. • Letters join into syllables (ma, me, mi…) and syllables build words. • Then come sentences and the first stories read without help. • 61 lessons on a map with seven kingdoms to explore. GAMES THAT TEACH • What does it start with?, syllable train, missing syllable, word workshop, sentence order and more. • Trace every letter with a finger, following school stroke order. • No timers and no rush: a wrong answer just means another try. STORIES TO READ AND TO HEAR • Over 60 decodable stories written only with the letters already learned. • Two modes: "Te leo" (listen together) and "Leo yo" (read alone, tap a word for help). • 13 narrated stories to listen to. FOR THE FAMILY • A weekly summary of mastered letters and syllables, and what to practice next. • Optional account to save progress across iPhone and iPad. • Choose how long each session lasts; Chispas says goodbye when time is up. • No ads and no tracking.
