This Spanish Kapow teacher video supports you in delivering a lesson where children consolidate new and previously learnt Spanish language through reading and completing birthday invitations. Pupils will apply their language detective skills to understand an extended text, using context, cognates and known vocabulary from this and previous units. The focus is on gist comprehension rather than word-for-word translation, giving children confidence in working with longer pieces of text.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Spanish scheme of work – vocabulary. It models how to guide pupils through extracting key information such as dates, numbers and addresses. You’ll find support for scaffolding listening tasks and encouraging independent reading strategies, helping children build fluency and resilience. This lesson brings together vocabulary around birthdays, dates, numbers and personal details in a purposeful and engaging context.
