11. BILITERACY EDUCATION MODEL:
Developed in a small city along the Texas -Mexico border where
the community believed that it is important to be bicultural
and biliterate.
Bilingual classes were provided with the Esperanza Program.
During the students first grade year they are introduced to
Language Enrichment.
Students are exposed to auditory, visual, tactile, and
kinesthetic modalities in order to learn new reading,
language, or writing concepts.
As students learn a new concept, they immediately apply it to
reading, writing, and spelling.
Monetary award is utilized for scholarships of graduating
seniors who have been through the program.
12. CONCLUSION:
When a student’s strengths and knowledge base are taken
into account, reading in two languages is very possible
Learning to read in two languages can be supplemented by
using similar skills from one language to another in a
systematic, direct, and comprehensive program.
Editor's Notes
Diphthong spellings such as oy and au directly transfer to the English language. If a Spanish vowel pair is accented, then the two vowels are produced separately and are not combined.
Rhyme Identification- This is sound manipulation that is necessary to achieve a higher level of phonological awareness such as phoneme manipulation Rhyme Generation- Ability to produce rhyming words. Ultimate goal is students to preform this skill by listeningAlliteration Repetition and Identification- It’s important to repeat the alliterations and identify the initial sound.Alliteration Generation- The ultimate goal is for students to provide their own alliteration. Provide two and have them produce a third**ALSO GIVE ENGLISH EXAMPLES IF YOU CAN **
Syllable Blending- Ask children to listen, repeat, and blend syllables to form wordsSyllable Omission- Deleting an initial, medial, or final syllable Phoneme Blending- Students listen, repeat, and blend sounds to form wordsPhoneme Substitution- Using mirrors to view position of their mouth as they substitute initial sounds
