Basic Spanish Greetings
Basic Spanish Greetings
• The set of pages with images are the TPR (Total Physical Response) picture pages. They
are available with or without words and in color or grayscale.
• You can use any of these pages with a document camera or create an overhead
transparency of the TPR picture page OR you can project the TPR slide from the
greetings with practice ppt file.
• The TPR practice should be used in conjunction with the vocabulary with practice
presentation PowerPoint or after all of the vocabulary has been presented using the
vocabulary presentation ppt(no practice).
• The pictures on the TPR page correspond to the little pictures that appear next to each
phrase in the vocabulary presentation PowerPoint.
How to use TPR (if you aren’t already familiar with the strategy)
Teacher Tips
• TPR helps students stay focused on learning the vocabulary. It also helps teachers know
when their students are “getting it”.
• As students are pointing, check for comprehension.
• Ask students not to write Spanish words on the TPR page. We want them to associate an
image/memory with a Word/phrase (as we did when we learned our first language).
• Print the vocabulary fill in sheet and the TPR page front to back to save paper.
• Use TPR to practice the vocabulary at any time.
