▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⭐Course Overview⭐ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ This course focuses on developing Spanish language proficiency at the "Effective Readers" level through the Reading A-Z program. Students will read a new story each week from Levels K-P and engage in various activities to improve their reading comprehension, writing, and vocabulary. Topics covered will include family, home, school, park, zoo, friends, pets, and more. Throughout the course, students will interact with their peers and the instructor through various activities such as discussions, writing exercises, and completing activities on slides. The instructor will use engaging teaching methods to make the learning experience enjoyable and relevant to students' daily lives. Overall, this course is designed to help students develop their Spanish language skills, improve their reading comprehension and writing, and make connections between what they read and their daily lives.

The course will be taught in Spanish. The Reading A-Z program expects effective readers to recognize more and more words automatically by sight, attend to phonics, word chunks, and affixes when decoding unfamiliar words, and transition from "learning to read" to "reading to learn." Effective readers also tend to focus less on decoding and more on comprehension. The text to support effective readers may include longer sentences, more complex syntax, richer vocabulary, fewer pictures, and more formal and descriptive language. ▬▬▬▬▬▬ 💬Language of Instruction💬▬▬▬▬▬▬ This is an immersion class, which means lessons will be taught primarily in Spanish. However, teachers will use English as necessary to guide students.
