The Jump Into Spanish Reading Adventure 🚀
One hour. Four unforgettable moments. Zero boring worksheets. Every activity is adapted for PreK, Kindergarten, or 1st grade — kids with extra support needs are always included, always celebrated.
Story Time — Loud, Proud & Interactive
We don't just read the book — we live it. Kids join in on every page, acting out characters, guessing what comes next, and discovering that they can already read Spanish words. Energy is high from the very first sentence.
~15 minutesThe High-Energy Word Challenge — Get Up & Move!
The classroom becomes a giant Spanish literacy game. Kids work in teams to physically build words, solve sound puzzles, and race each other to master the letters. It's loud. It's silly. It absolutely works.
~20 minutesThe Young Reader's Lab — Cool Down & Create
Time to put it all together. Kids use activity sheets directly inspired by the book to practice their new Spanish reading skills on paper — bridging the gap between "we just played a game" and "I can actually read this."
~15 minutesShow & Tell — We Did That!
We close by celebrating what every single kid accomplished. They share, cheer each other on, and leave with the confidence of a reader who knows they can do it. Teachers usually say this part gets them.
~10 minutesEverything. You Bring Nothing. 🙌
Seriously — zero prep, zero stress, zero trips to the supply closet. Ashley handles it all.

Hi, I'm Ashley! 👋🏾
Author · Literacy Advocate · Google Marketing Lead
I created ¡Vamos a Leer! because I couldn't find the right Spanish early readers for my own daughter, Ivory. As a proud Latina and African American mom, I built the series I wished existed — phonics-first, 100% Spanish, and full of stories that feel like home.
These four books are built the way kids actually learn to read: with repetition, movement, and joy. The workshops I run in schools bring those same ideas off the page — and into the hands of every child in the room.
Real Readers, Real Reactions 💛
"My daughter spotted this book in the store and immediately wanted it. By the time we got home, she had already read half of it out loud — in Spanish. I cried."
"Finally a Spanish book my son can actually read by himself. The phonics structure is brilliant. He reads it to his abuela over FaceTime now."
"Simple, sweet, and genuinely educational. Our bilingual classroom has been looking for exactly this level for so long. These books fill a real gap."
