Spanish–English Preschool worksheets
Pictures first, letters second. Ten-word sets, large cards and easy grids for the first years of school.
Spanish–English is the pairing most US dual-language, transitional bilingual and newcomer programmes ask for. Every theme on this site carries a Spanish word for each picture, with accents preserved in print (pájaro, camión, mañana) so children see the spelling their reading books use.
At three and four, the goal is meaning and sounds, not spelling. Print the picture-only flashcard face, name the picture in one or both languages, and let the child point. Add the word side only when they ask. A word search with six to eight short words and no diagonals is enough for the oldest preschoolers.

Questions
Are these Spanish–English preschool worksheets free?
Yes. Every worksheet, flashcard set and PDF pack is free for classroom and personal use. There is no account and no watermark.
Do I need to speak Spanish?
No. The pictures carry the meaning and both languages are printed on the page, so a monolingual teacher or parent can run the activity.
Which worksheets should I start with?
Start with the picture cards for the theme, then the matching sheet as an exit ticket, and finish the week with the word search.
