Participants of Reading in Spanish are invited to join in-person virtual sessions to learn how to pronounce Spanish and how this pronunciation relates to written text.
4-week workshop
The in-person virtual sessions are organized in a series of four sessions around the following topics:
Pronouncing and reading simple consonants & simple vowels
Pronouncing and reading vowels in combination
Pronouncing and reading SPECIAL Spanish sounds/letters
Using different letters for the same sound: j, g, gu, s, z, c, qu
Participants of Reading in Spanish are invited to join in-person sessions with their children and other family members to read in a structured group setting for 20-30 minutes.
SCHEDULE, TBD
Depending on family interest: ZOOM
All in-person sessions are designed to be "stand alone" sessions planned according to the indicated topic.
While it is recommended that participants attend all sessions to have a full picture of how to pronounce and reading in Spanish, we will accommodate anyone who finds the time to join us.
All in-person learning sessions for adults/caregivers in 2025 are held remotely via Zoom.
Participants will have to ensure that they have Zoom software downloaded to the device that they will use to participate.
If you do not currently have Zoom software on your device, the Zoom software should automatically download (if your device permits automatic downloads) when you select a link to join a Zoom session.
If you are unable to join via Zoom, please let Danielle Thomas know: danielle.thomas@utoronto.ca OR 413-695-2765.
We will try to accommodate all those who would like to participate in virtual sessions.
NOTE: In order to best plan for in-person sessions, please keep Danielle updated with your intention to participate: Email (danielle.thomas@utoronto.ca) or Text/WhatsApp (413-695-2765).
