Close Reading for New Spanish Learners! Level 1

Take your Spanish to the next level! This class is for students who have taken some Spanish and want to apply Spanish vocabulary and grammar in context. Sometimes students take Spanish classes and the focus is on vocabulary and grammar drills, but students are more likely to retain and recall if they use what they have learned to read and speak the language. 

This class is a low stress way to help students become more comfortable interacting with the Spanish language. Each class will begin with a short review of relevant verbs and vocabulary. Students will have access to a vocabulary and verb worksheet to support them as they navigate the selected text. Students will then read short passages in Spanish and apply close reading strategies to comprehend meaning. 

There will be a focus on reading strategies like annotation, which can help students strengthen their reading skills in all subject areas.
