This Spanish Kapow teacher video supports you in teaching strategies for reading and understanding clothing vocabulary in Spanish. Pupils will use illustrations and sentence context to deduce meaning, beginning with colour vocabulary they already know. They’ll then identify cognates and use familiar grammatical structures to decode more complex sentences. The lesson encourages pupils to rely on logic and prior learning before turning to a bilingual dictionary, building their confidence as language detectives.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Spanish scheme of work – vocabulary. It models how to scaffold children’s comprehension through structured questions, paired discussion and shared justification of strategies. You’ll be supported to guide pupils in recognising root words, making grammar-based predictions and explaining their reasoning. These skills not only support vocabulary development but also promote reading fluency and independence in Spanish.
