DL Word Study 1st Units Survey

The Dual Language Word Study Units are new and refreshed for 2019-2020.  All Word Study Units are aligned to Common Core Standards for the grade level in Spanish with adaptations to the Word Study Continuum in English to accommodate for the start of English Reading in 2nd grade and the Biliteracy transfer that our students bring to all of their literacy.

The Units are intended to be used as Universal Instruction and there may be students who are not yet ready to master all of the skills.   Mastery at the individual level occurs within a student's zone of proximal development; however, we all believe all of our students deserve access to grade level standards and instruction.

This month, third grade students have been learning a lot about words "esdrújulas y sobreesdrújulas".  These skills are review skills in fourth grade.    Next year, fourth grade teachers will be in for a treat when their students have these skills because of consistent instruction the year before.

Let us know how the units are going!  Your feedback is critical!  Also, please contact your coach to model any of the units-we want you to be successful in this much needed area of instruction for our Dual Language Learners!
