I used these with my high school Spanish I classes (grades 9-12). The slides are scaffolded, and they gained quick confidence when doing the cognate paragraph translations without dictionary assistance.
There are a few corrections, however, that need to be made.
How can I contact the author to pass on the specifics?
Thank you!

My first year students 6-8 can do these with very little help. Great confidence builder and easy emergency activity. Love it!

This is a great way to practice cognates in context.

I used this cognate activity on day 1 of Spanish 1. It was a huge hit! Students were thrilled to get away from “typical” first day things, and were so excited to see how much Spanish they could understand. This will be my first day activity for years to come!

I am teaching a class of Homeschooled students in a co-op setting and we are not using a traditional highschool text. Our book really starts by using cognates to give them success. This product is a perfect way for me to test them by using the reading passages. I used the passages and gave them questions in Spanish to see how well they can do.

This was a great resource! I was very happy with how many practice sheets came with the set. I liked that there were word lists and comprehensive texts. I especially liked the sheet that helped students see the patterns at the ends of both Spanish and English words!

Good way to start the year in Spanish 1 by showing students how many words they can recognize in Spanish. Thanks!

Easy to use and understand. However the audio did not play for the students when I made a copy for them to use in google classroom.

I bought this and thought I would love it, the Google Slides part is so basic, it’s like for 1st grade level, not middle – high school. very disappointed.

Hi Wanda,
I’m sorry to hear that this resource didn’t meet your expectations. The Google Slides version is intentionally designed to mirror the PDF worksheets and provide a simple, accessible way for students to complete the activities digitally—something many teachers find useful, especially for middle and high school learners who need support with cognates at the novice level.
That said, I appreciate your feedback. If you’d like to share more about what you were hoping to see, feel free to email me at [email protected]. I’m always open to improving my resources when possible.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

The students were very engaged with this activity. I liked that I could use it with Spanish I students and for the most part, they were able to complete it on their own.

I purchased this resources a few year ago. So glad I did. I’ve used it at the beginning of Spanish 1 for a few years now.
Veronica G. –
Nice resource to use at the beginning of Spanish I!

This really helped my Spanish level 1 students learn and grasp the idea of cognates. They are able to recognize them now in readings and help them to understand what they are reading.

I used this as an extension to the unit I already have with cognados. Very good resource.
