MagneTalk Spanish Early Classifying

MagneTalk Spanish Early Classifying is a bilingual magnetic photo classifying game targeting five core vocabulary categories in both English and Spanish, designed for use by Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) and teachers with bilingual or Spanish-speaking students in grades pre-kindergarten and up and children ages 3 to 9.

A 14" x 18" magnetic game board with 70 dual-language photo tiles gives Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) and teachers a culturally and linguistically responsive resource for teaching classifying and vocabulary skills to bilingual English/Spanish-speaking students.

MagneTalk Spanish Early Classifying presents 70 magnetic tiles (1½" x 1½") covering five categories: transportation, clothing, animals, food, and items found in the home. One side of each tile shows a photo with the Spanish label; the opposite side shows the English label in black and white, allowing the same tile to support vocabulary instruction in either language. The game encourages fine motor development, vocabulary expansion in both languages, critical thinking, and expressive language development. 

Who is this Spanish classifying game helpful for?

MagneTalk Spanish Early Classifying is designed to target bilingual classifying, categorization, and vocabulary skills in students in grades pre-kindergarten and up and children ages 3 to 9 who are English/Spanish-speaking. Ideal for use by Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) and teachers serving bilingual students or families.

Why Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) and teachers love this game:

Having a single tile set that supports instruction in both English and Spanish allows clinicians to address bilingual vocabulary development directly, rather than translating an English-only resource on the fly. The classifying task builds the same categorization and critical thinking skills as the English-only version while honouring the students' home language.
