Cognates in English and Spanish The cognates/Cognados document is a great resource for students to get familiar with these words that can be used almost similarly in both English and Spanish. Cognates are words in two languages that share a similar meaning, spelling, and pronunciation. 30-40% of all words in English have a related word in Spanish and this guide provides a helpful list of cognates in Spanish and English. Cognates are a good way to teach ELLs a second language. It helps them relate their knowledge of some of the words in their native language, Spanish to words that are very similar in English. It’s very useful also in some dual language programs where the goal is for students to speak English and Spanish fluently. Once you have introduced the lesson to your students, the cognates cards and questions can be placed in Literary Centers as well as small groups, partners or individual practice. There are enough cards and questions for 4 students to work together. The sentences can be cut apart and the students can put them back together. They can identify the verb, the noun, subject and predicate. They have multiple exercises. Make sure you laminate them before cutting for durability purposes.
