Websites also make it easy and convenient to practice your reading, so check these out:

This is one of the best free online resources for learning Spanish and has a whole section of reading comprehension exercises, which are divided into four different levels.

Each level is subdivided into groups of quizzes that contain one or two readings and an exercise to test your understanding.

Each quiz also includes a short vocabulary list to get you started collecting unknown words.

Their goal is for you to only need five minutes a day to practice your Spanish reading skills, making this easy to fit into your day.

You will find a variety of rather long texts divided into three levels that include exercises to complete before and after reading.

You can also click on various words to see descriptions of them in Spanish.

LyricsTraining allows you to choose a Spanish song, then  listen and fill in the blanks with the correct word or phrase.

You can choose your level and challenge yourself to listen to the song and read the lyrics, ensuring you get both reading and listening practice!

TED Talks discuss interesting innovations and thought-provoking ideas and questions in lots of languages.

You can find a TED Talk on pretty much anything, and each video comes with transcripts in several languages.

While websites are convenient for language learning, apps are even more convenient since they bring learning to your phone!

Here are some great apps that have reading options:

Duolingo teaches you Spanish through gamified “bite-size lessons” with all kinds of fun exercises.

You will find translation exercises and short stories that you can read to boost those reading skills in a fun way!

FluentU New iOS App Icon

FluentU  takes authentic videos—like music videos, movie trailers, news and inspiring talks—and turns them into personalized language learning lessons.

It gives you a chance to practice Spanish reading with  interactive subtitles, transcripts and quizzes that test your comprehension.

While you’re watching a video, you can hover over or click on any word in the subtitles to see its meaning, part of speech and more so you can learn new words and boost your comprehension without having to rely on a dictionary or translator.

Whether you start out with  Spanish books for beginners , delve into an  intermediate novel  or boldly attempt to read an  advanced novel , your reading skills will improve greatly.

Simply consider your Spanish level and interests and find a book that will keep you engaged.

Here are some places where you can find some books in Spanish:

14 . Rincón Castellano   (The Spanish Corner)

Sometimes a long text with too many unknown words can frustrate us at the beginning of our learning journey.

That’s where the short stories on this page come in.

This site has over 100 stories here by celebrated authors.  

Have your dictionary handy and settle in for a story that can be completed during a commercial break.

Penguin Random House has put together a list of  teen and young adult Spanish language books sure to spike your interest if you’re tired of nonfiction.

Since they’re written with a younger audience in mind, they use simpler language and are meant to be engaging and entertaining.

This resource has Spanish stories with line-by-line equivalents in English .

If you’re not sure what a sentence means, all you have to do is look right next to it for the English phrase. Some of the texts are rather complex, so this is best for intermediate to advanced learners.

This resource gives you free access to Spanish books , which tend to be older, classic literature originally written in Spanish. 

While this may mean you will see more complicated language, it’s a great way to expose yourself to new grammar and vocabulary.

From Project Gutenberg, you can read online or download to your Kindle. 

Children’s stories are a great starting place for reading Spanish since the language is so simple. 

This resource gives you access to plenty of Spanish children’s books that even allow you to see the original illustrations.

In this dual-language book , each page in Spanish is followed by a page with the English translation .

It features a word glossary and sorting exercises after each session to help you review what you learned in the different chapters.

This book tells a story about love and friendship in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It mostly features very simple sentences so the difficulty level is just right for beginners. 

The novel is available instantly on Kindle or as a paperback. 

Purchasing this book will also give you access to a free Spanish-English dictionary you can download and install on your computer.

This is a very good tool for getting in reading practice and gaining some knowledge of Spanish literature at the same time.

This advanced dual-language Spanish reader features plays, lyrics, narrative verses and prose coming from 50 excerpts of Spanish literature.

It also has an extensive English-Spanish index for cross-referencing.

This book offers about 100 works from various well-known Latino/a authors along with pre-reading notes, footnotes of difficult words with English translations and post-reading questions.

Note that the texts are all unabridged and in their original length and form , so it could be a good challenge for you. 

This monolingual Spanish dictionary provides you with one of the most authoritative references of Spanish slang, with more than 12,000 entries. 

This one is for very advanced students, since it’s written solely in Spanish. Note that it puts the emphasis on slang from Spain.

Reading Spanish-language newspapers will improve your knowledge of both the language and culture. Plus, it will keep you up to date with current events.

Here are some of the best Spanish news sources you should look into:

28 . El Nuevo Día  (The New Day)

This Puerto Rican news publication  will help you bolster your Spanish reading skills while also digesting the current information in the world of fashion, politics, technology and more.

Want a little taste of what’s offered? Start by reading about how to  rent Tony Stark’s cabin from “Avengers Endgame ” or, for a quicker read,  take a look at your daily horoscope .

29 . Hola Qué Pasa (Hello what’s going on)

Beginners should check out this site which provides news articles about politics, sports, celebrity gossip and all manner of current events in basic Spanish .

It even has definitions of vocabulary words that may be new.

And you can hear an audio reading of the article s and take quizzes on the content once you’re finished.

The Spanish CNN has much of the coverage you’ve come to expect from this prominent news outlet , with regular coverage of the latest in U.S. politics and current events, as well as major international stories.

There are also videos accompanying many of the stories, for those who’d like a multimedia approach.

This source offers a less U.S.-centric approach to the news (although they certainly don’t ignore U.S. news entirely).

This version of the BBC’s coverage prioritizes international and Latin American news stories , rather than specifically British or European happenings.

The BBC is pretty well-respected for neutrality, so you can expect the news to be rather truthful and not as heavily biased as some regional channels.

This newspaper publishes free, high-quality information in Spain.

It usually features national, international, economic, sports, technology and art news.

It’s designed to be consumed rapidly (in 20 minutes or less), so it features articles that are light enough that you can get informed in relatively simple Spanish .

Similar to 20minutos , Metro features short, to-the-point articles primarily intended for commuters who read the news on their way to and from work.

They cover local and global news, sports, lifestyle topics and entertainment. 

If you’re interested in South American current events in particular, this news source could be well suited for you.

El Diario popular is a local newspaper published in Argentina and read widely in some of the Buenos Aires suburbs.

Sports, political life and local shows take up most of the space in this newspaper.

As the name implies, it targets popular social classes, and the vocabulary used is pretty straightforward.

Clarín is the largest newspaper in Argentina , and the electronic version of the paper is one of the most visited Spanish language newspapers on the Internet. 

This newspaper will allow you to get insightful information about Argentinean daily life while working your Spanish reading skills.

El País is the highest-circulation daily newspaper in Spain.

It’s characterized by the large amount of space it gives to international news, culture and information regarding the economy, as well as Spanish news. 

It also features specific columnists who contribute to the democratic and pro-European editorial line of the newspaper.

El Diario is the oldest Spanish-language daily newspaper in the United States and the largest in New York City. 

It covers local, national and international news, as well as human interest stories, politics, business, technology, health, entertainment and sports.

You’ll probably find some subjects that you’ve already read about, making it easier to understand.

You can look up other major news outlets from specific Spanish-speaking countries  to read about regional stories that might be missed in the international coverage.

This will be especially helpful if you’re planning to travel to a Spanish-speaking country or want to learn a specific dialect of Spanish.

For example, try El Universal (The Universal) of Venezuela or El Faro (The Lighthouse) of El Salvador.

El Jueves  is a Spanish satirical magazine published weekly in Barcelona. 

It regularly features real-yet-unusual stories, giving you an opportunity to learn interesting vocabulary that other, more serious magazines might not use. And it’s funny!

Many people don’t realize how essential it is to learn how to read in Spanish.

It’s useful for so much more than just reading a Spanish novel you picked up on a whim in a local bookshop.

  • It’s one of the easiest ways to expand your Spanish vocabulary, in general as well as on specific topics.
  • Reading helps build your repertoire of colloquial Spanish words and phrases .
  • Reading is a practical way to familiarize yourself with Spanish sentence structure .
  • Finally, reading is a gateway to exploring Spanish-speaking cultures. From literature to history to current events, there’s always something new to unlock through reading.

Not to mention, if you plan on visiting a Spanish-speaking country any time soon, being able to read at least basic Spanish will definitely come in handy.

Try navigating an airport in Guatemala without being able to read Spanish. Trust me, it’s not easy!

Learning a new language can be a daunting task, especially when one of the first things you do is pick up a chunky Spanish novel .

Here’s how to make your path to reading much easier:

  • Don’t bite off more than you can chew. If you’re a beginner, start learning to read in Spanish with very small, bite-sized texts .
  • Focus on understanding the text or sentence as a whole, rather than stopping for every word you don’t know. Often, translating a text word-for-word leads to confusion and inaccuracy. 
  • Build a vocabulary list as you read. Make note of key words and add them to your vocabulary list.
  • Do the comprehension exercises. Many texts designed for Spanish learners also include exercises to test your comprehension. Don’t skip these!
  • Turn reading into a multipurpose exercise. Read the text out loud to work on your pronunciation and fluency.
  • To reinforce what you learn after you read, it can be really helpful to listen to Spanish audio or videos about the same topic (if you can find them).

Soon, you’ll find yourself zooming through Spanish texts like Harry during a particularly exciting game of Quidditch. Isn’t reading great?

First day of school here in Oregon! Every year, I decorate the table after the kids go to bed the night before school starts so they wake up on the first day feeling extra loved and special. It’s one of my favorite traditions. I can’t bubble wrap them, as much as I want to, but I can make the first day a celebration and hug them extra tight on their way out the door. Wishing you all a wonderful school year! #firstdayofschool

6 easy beginner Spanish worksheets

spanish reading homework

Worksheets are a great way to practice Spanish at your own pace. Some beginner Spanish worksheets don’t offer explanations or examples, but can be useful. Start by studying a Spanish language topic to gain a full understanding. Next, apply what you’ve learned by doing a beginner Spanish worksheet. You need to figure out what topics to study before you look for the worksheets. This article will give you six easy topics, online resources, and the tools you need to create quality worksheets in the future.

Study first

Spanish worksheets online, diy beginner spanish worksheets, ready to start learning with lingoda.

As a beginner learner of Spanish you need to know where to start. Don’t jump right into a worksheet until you’ve studied the topic first. Topics like the alphabet , greetings , numbers , verbs , body parts , and subject pronouns are the first topics you need to study. 

The linked articles above will help you with a basic understanding of the topic before you do your worksheet. Start listening to beginner podcasts for learning Spanish or watch Netflix in Spanish so you can hear Spanish being spoken.

It can be challenging to find quality, easy Spanish worksheets for beginners online. Start out with beginner Spanish to English worksheets that have both languages. Here are six free worksheets to start with:

  • The Alphabet worksheet

Spanish greetings worksheet

Spanish numbers worksheet, spanish verbs worksheet, beginner body parts in spanish worksheet, subject pronouns spanish worksheet.

The six linked sites above provide free, downloadable beginner Spanish worksheets. After you master these subjects, browse more worksheets to help you practice topics such as time, verb conjugation, family, and more.

You know the old saying. Give a woman a fish and feed her for a day; teach her to fish and feed her for a lifetime. Learning to DIY your study tools is a rewarding skill.

Making your own beginner Spanish worksheets is the best way to study and practice. DIY worksheets help you focus and remember vocabulary. They also help you to build good learning habits that will be crucial as you continue your Spanish learning journey.

Here are some fun and easy instructions on how to make your own beginner Spanish worksheets based on the main six topics. Always have a teacher, friend, or colleague check your work afterwards. Better yet, how about creating a worksheet for a language exchange buddy so you can both practice?

Alphabet worksheet

Write all 27 letters of the Spanish alphabet in a vertical line. Next to each letter, write 3 words in Spanish that begin with that letter. Here is how to begin.

  • A – abuela, amor, alegría
  • B – bueno, balón, boca

At the top of the paper, write six phrases that you know to greet someone in Spanish, such as Hola! and ¿Qué tal? Below these phrases, draw four characters: a woman, a student, a man, dog. Draw a line between each person and choose which greeting is best between these two people. Speak the words out loud.

On a paper, number lines 1 – 10. On your phone or computer, open a random number generator . Generate ten numbers and write them down. Write out the numbers in Spanish words like quinientos treinta y ocho five hundred and thirty eight. Say them out loud. 

Draw 10 stick figures doing various things such as eating, sleeping, dancing, reading. Under each figure write the verb. Alternatively, write the letters of the alphabet in a line and think of all the verbs you know for each letter.

This is a fun one. Draw a human figure as large as your paper. It doesn’t have to be perfect, a stick figure will do. Label all the parts that you know. Any parts you don’t know, look them up and label your figure until it’s full. There are plenty of examples for the human body worksheet to use as inspiration.

Draw yourself, a man, a woman, two people together, and you with another person. Label each figure with the subject pronouns: yo (I), tú (you), él (he), ella (she), nosotros (we) and ustedes (you all). Write the same sentence with each pronoun: Yo voy a la tienda, Tú vas a la tienda, Él va a la tienda, etc.

Find or make worksheets

Worksheets are a great way to practice your Spanish. Remember to study the topic before you dive in, use free worksheets available online, and make your own to build good study skills, focus, and reinforce your vocabulary. When you are ready for a more interactive study method with expert teachers, Lingoda online classes can help you on your Spanish language journey.

GCSE Spanish - Why 2,500,000+ Students Prefer Seneca for Revision

  • Not just GCSE Spanish AQA, Edexcel, iGCSE, we cover all of your GCSE subjects for free online revision
  • Get instant feedback on your answers and practice questions
  • Identify your strengths and weaknesses
  • Replace boring revision guides with free online GCSE revision

How long can you concentrate when reading through a Spanish vocab list or revision guide? The best way to improve your memory, is to pay attention to the content and having interesting content helps! Seneca helps you with both during your revision. It indicates what topic you know well and repeats the other ones automatically until you understand those too. And like the above video displays, it does all this in a very interactive Q&A style course making you learn 2x faster.

Which exam boards?

  • Edexcel iGCSE

Topics covered?

  • Identity & Culture
  • Areas of Interest
  • Common Tenses
  • Important Verbs
  • Advanced Tenses
  • Extra Grammar

2x faster? That can be right, you must be thinking. So let me explain why your brain memorises more effective when using Seneca.

It all has to do with the smart learning algorithm developed by neuroscientists and engineers. The algorithm contains several important principles for learning and revising such as imagery and spacing.

This means that Seneca repeats topics in several different content formats between a variety of time intervals optimised to trigger your brain in the best way possible.

But that's all fun, why not simply try it out yourself?
