The disclaimers first, as always: LOMLOE is Spain's education law and the SEP is Mexico's education ministry; neither has anything to do with this site, and curricula are set by regions, states and schools — always follow YOUR programación or plan de clase. What is safely mappable is the theme layer: the topics primary English cycles through are strikingly constant across both systems.

First cycle: the self and the near world

  • Greetings, feelings, my body → Emotions and Body packs, the hello routines from the classroom-posters set.
  • Colours, numbers to 20, school objects → Colors and School packs, the 1–20 number board with its listen-and-find game.
  • Family and pets → Family and Pets packs with their chants and speaking questions.
💯 Numbers 1–20 board

Second & third cycles: routines, town, past tenses

Daily routines with clock time (the telling-time page with its quiz and worksheets), food and healthy habits (Food/Fruits/Vegetables plus the Health pack), my town and jobs (Town, Transport, Jobs), and by the third cycle the past tenses — where the grammar pages and the 60 irregular verbs take over. The Cambridge-aligned level pages (Pre-A1 to A2) double as a competencias reference many programaciones already speak.

The Spanish-speaker specifics

Two labs here were built for your classroom in particular: the b/v minimal pairs (Spanish merges them; English does not) and ch/sh (Spanish lacks sh entirely). Ten minutes a week in each rewires the ear before the habits set. And the site's Spanish layer means the support gloss under every English word is one your children actually read.

👂 berry / very (b·v)👂 chip / ship (ch·sh)
