Spanish Sílabas Word Building Mat | Syllable Tiles & Elkonin Boxes | K-3

Build Spanish words one sílaba at a time! This hands-on word-work mat helps K-3 students build, say, and write Spanish words using letter tiles and Elkonin sound boxes, with a built-in word bank of 150 words aligned to Leo Sílabas Units 1–10.

What’s included (18 pages)

• Mat 1: vowels (with accents and ü), digraphs and spelling patterns (ch, ll, rr, qu, gu, gü), consonant blends, diphthongs and endings.
• Mat 2 “Mi palabra”: 7 word-building boxes, syllable circles, consonants, and lines to write the word.
• 6 color-coded tile sheets: vowels, consonants, digraphs and patterns, blends, diphthongs, endings, plus blank tiles.
• 150-word bank (Units 1–10): 15 words per unit with syllable dots and English glosses, plus two “change one syllable” word chains per unit.
• Bilingual teacher guide: setup directions, a 5-step routine (listen, count, build, read, change), and a note on qu, gu, and gü.

How it works
