I have been working with some teachers that teach dual language programs. They shared a book with me by Karen Beeman, M.Ed. and Cheryl Urow, M.Ed., Teaching for Biliteracy: Strengthening Bridges between Languages. This book illustrates how to build bridges to biliteracy and how to bridge theory to practice. Dual language programs are designed for students who speak English at home, for students who speak Spanish at home, and for two-language students who speak both languages at home. The goal is for students to develop cross-cultural understanding, bilingualism and biculturalism in all students. To reach these goals, instruction is divided between English and Spanish with at least 50% of instructional time being delivered in Spanish.
I just posted Spanish ABC Cards on TPT
