This Spanish scheme of work, focuses on the consistent and simple pronunciation of the ‘u’ sound. Pupils learn that in Spanish, ‘u’ always makes the same sound – like the English ‘oo’ in “food” – and is never written as a double vowel.

Using fun comparisons to familiar phrases in English and guided mouth mechanics, pupils are encouraged to shape their lips correctly and say the ‘u’ sound clearly. Repetition, visual cues, and listening activities help pupils recognise this sound in Spanish words and pronounce it confidently.

This video helps pupils secure their phonetic knowledge and develop strong foundations in speaking and listening.
