Description

In this unit, pupils learn singular forms of the verb 'estar' to talk about location and states, and singular forms of the verb 'ser' to talk about traits. They use adjective agreement as a complement to a verb to describe what someone is like, and learn sounds for vowels a, e, i, o, u in Spanish.

This unit introduces pupils to the verbs 'ser' and 'estar', to be for location, states, and traits, which is essential early knowledge. Pupils are introduced to the concept that some adjectives can change their endings based on gender, which they will build on with adjective-noun agreement in a later unit. They learn how to ask questions using raised intonation, and with '¿cómo?' and '¿dónde?' to ask where something is or what someone is like and to ask for clarification in class. The foundations for learning phonics are laid with the sound-symbol correspondences a, e, i, o, u.
