enjoy these materials, and we
look forward to your feedback.

plus you can earn points good
towards future purchases.

Product Info
This pack includes two different
cognate lists for English &
Spanish. The first list can be
printed back to back and is a
comprehensive list of true
English-Spanish cognates for
teachers. The second list is a
single sheet of commonly
confused false cognates.

Suggested Use
We designed these lists for
bilingual teachers to use as a
reference. The True cognate
list serves as a great reference
for vocabulary instruction,
especially for newcomer
students. The False cognate list
is a great tool to study for
communication with students
and families. It can help you
avoid making mistakes with
commonly confused words.
