Rationale: In this lesson, students will be learning the Spanish alphabet in order for them to
know how to spell words.
It is an important lesson today since you are going to learn the Spanish alphabet. Since Spanish is a
PHONETIC language, you will be able to spell a word the way it sounds, unlike English that does
not always spell the way it sounds. How do you spell your name?
