Biliteracy para todos™ provides resources for teachers to engage bilingual learners in two related activities:

Available in three complete stages (Early, Developing, and Advanced), each stage of Biliteracy para todos™ consists of two separate resources. These are available as standalone products or as one comprehensive package:

• Cross Linguistic Connections (CLC) for whole or small group instruction encompasses phonology, morphology, grammar, and syntax.

• Preview-View-Review (PVR) for small group reading instruction.

THE

TRANSLANGUAGING

Biliteracy para todos™ builds on students’ ability to translenguar to actively develop biliteracy. Translanguaging is not only about moving from one language to another, it is also about how bilingual students use language. Students use their complete language system, which is composed of features of both languages, to make sense of their world.

Biliteracy para todos™ lessons are designed for teachers working with emergent and experienced bilinguals in different educational contexts. The lessons provide intentional translanguaging opportunities, allowing bilingual learners to flexibly use their full linguistic repertoire as they become bilingual and biliterate.

BILITERACY

In Biliteracy para todos™, biliteracy is seen from the perspectives of both the biliteracy teacher and the biliterate student.

CLC and PVR lessons create opportunities for teachers to implement their biliteracy teaching in an intentionally designed way.

Students are encouraged to become biliterate as they move through the three stages of the program’s biliteracy progression. Through this process, the students use their full linguistic repertoire to gain understanding of how English and Spanish are similar and different.

Thoughtfully selected text pairs in English

Spanish provide the primary means for students to explore how the two languages are alike and

• understand conventions of print.

Big Books

Eighteen appealing Big Books—stories, rhymes and informational texts:

• capture the readers’ attention and ensure group participation and engagement

• are ideal to introduce early literacy skills and concepts of print

• use rhyme, rhythm and repetition in the narrative titles

• introduce science and mathematics concepts in the informational texts

• link to the Vocabulary Starters.

Small Books

Small-book versions of the Big Books extend the shared reading experience. Using the Reading Pen for audio support, students listen and read along.

Vocabulary Starters

• Sturdy, laminated cards with seven folding panels

• Unambiguous, full-color photographs introduce key vocabulary words

• Back of cards provide a variety of suggestions for introducing and reusing new words

Lesson Plan Cards and Program Overview

Program Overview includes Research Base, Standards Alignment, Progress Assessment, Scaffolding Tips, and more.

Reading Pens

The Reading Pens are preloaded with recordings of all 18 Lift Off to LiteracyTM titles. Touch the tip of the pen to the cover of a small-book version, then to any page, and hear that page read aloud. The pens:

• are durable, safe and easy to use

“Learners will love the selection of short, authentic texts: posters, photographs, vox pops, interviews, arguments, personal recounts, reports, and primary source documents. And, teachers will love the resulting bursts of language, deep thinking, and powerful persuasive writing.“

Everything you love about Flying Start to Literacy TM …

Beginning with the Fluent Plus stage, we continue our award-winning formula of pairing a narrative text with an informational text, both connected by the same big idea.

Informational texts present the big ideas around a concept. They go beyond readers’ personal experiences and include a range of features including primary sources that support the text.

Narrative texts reflect the big ideas through their characters and plots. They feature plots with subplots, non-sequential treatment of time, and a range of literary devices.

Perspectives—short,

Extend students’ thinking with additional views of the issues introduced in the paired texts.

Perspectives contain short texts in a magazinestyle format and include posters, arguments, discussions, letters, and visual images.

Lesson Plans for the pair encourage higher-level thinking and provide opportunities for students to write in response to both the text and to their collaborative conversations.

the

Perspectives Lesson Plans engage and support students in critical discussions, and in recognizing different points of view. Performance task cards provide opportunities to demonstrate comprehension.

it’s difficult for them to find food so they come to the village and eat the village crops.”

“That’s terrible!” Rani shook her head and frowned.

“I know,” sighed Ahmad’s dad. “And worse still, heard one of the farmers say that if the orangutans keep destroying his crops, he would have to shoot them.”

“That CAN’T happen!” Rani jumped to her feet. “We must help! Why don’t we feed the orangutans?”

“That would make the problem worse, Rani,” said her dad. “The orangutans would rely on people for food, and ultimately for survival. They would start coming into the village all the time and would eat more and more of the village crops.”

“And that would make the farmers really angry!” added Ahmad’s dad.

“Well, it’s not fair!” Rani stormed out of the house.

Educators can easily integrate these other content areas into their literacy block.

Everything you love about Despegando hacia la lectura® …

Beginning with the Fluent Plus stage, we continue our award-winning formula of pairing a narrative text with an informational text, both connected by the same big idea.

Informational texts present the big ideas around a concept. They go beyond readers’ personal experiences and include a range of features including primary sources that support the text.

Narrative texts reflect the big ideas through their characters and plots. They feature plots with subplots, non-sequential treatment of time, and a range of literary devices.

Extend students’ thinking with additional views of the issues introduced in the paired texts.

Perspectivas contain short texts in a magazinestyle format and include posters, arguments, discussions, letters, and visual images.

Lesson Plans for the pair encourage higher-level thinking and provide opportunities for students to write in response to both the text and to their collaborative conversations.

Perspectivas Lesson Plans engage and support students in critical discussions, and in recognizing different points of view. Performance task cards provide opportunities to demonstrate comprehension.

En el camino a la escuela, me encontré con Isabella cuando salía del edificio de apartamentos donde vive. Es una compañera de mi clase, pero nunca nos vemos fuera de la escuela.

Deberían haber visto la cara de Isabella cuando vio a Goldie. Estaba realmente entusiasmada.

–¡No sabía que tenías un perro! ¿Cómo se llama? –me preguntó.

–Goldie. Es un labrador de pura raza. ¿Quieres acariciarlo?

–¡Me encantaría! –dijo Isabella, y se inclinó mientras dejaba con cuidado sobre el suelo una caja de plástico que llevaba.

–Es hermoso –susurró, mientras acariciaba con suavidad la cabeza de Goldie.

Le dije que cuando Goldie fuera mayor, lo llevaría a exhibiciones, y que seguro ganaría muchos premios.

ExploraMundos™

Curriculum Links to Next Generation Science Standards and C3 Social Studies Outcomes

Program Overview

ExploraMundos™ is a high-interest informational literacy program that encourages inquiry and questioning while extending knowledge in science, social studies, and a range of STEM topics. A stand-alone addition to Despegando hacia la lectura ® using the same best-practice instruction, ExploraMundos™ creates a powerful and effective learning culture.

ExploraMundos

Aprendizaje a través del contenido

ExploraMundosTM features:

• Relatable content to engage readers

• Diversity of the world students live in

• Graphic devices and striking photographs to support the content

• Research opportunities with Inténtalo, Piénsalo, and ¿Lo sabías?

Students will develop strategies and skills to read informational texts across a range of text types while simultaneously learning to become informational text writers.

ExploraMundos™ is highly versatile, teaching reading strategies at the same time as teaching science and social studies concepts. Lesson plan cards for each book establish a reading focus for the text with explicit links to the NGSS and C3 Standards. With any ExploraMundos™ text, students are learning standards-linked content as they learn to read.

Why will your students love ExploraMundosTM?

• Engaging photography and meaningful graphics

• Varying topics for every interest

• Current events that relate to children’s experiences while broadening their perspectives

• Field tested by kids just like them!

Program Components

Student Books

ExploraMundos™ provides students with gradually increasing challenges. 174 titles linked to Grades K–5 Curriculum Standards cover natural, physical, and earth science, as well as social studies topics relevant to each grade level.

ExploraMundos™ texts introduce and revisit themes and concepts across the reading stages and build on initial concepts with increasing complexity.

Lesson Plan Cards

ExploraMundos™ lesson plan cards support teachers in creating an active learning environment, in which all students know how to use content area reading strategies to think within and beyond any given text. Each card identifies the connection to state standards for informational texts as well as to one or more of the science or social studies standards. Educators can easily integrate these other content areas into their literacy block.

Investigaciones

Investigaciones are inquiry-driven, independent project templates for students to use after reading any of the books at Grades 3-5. Investigaciones are available online only, with your purchase of the corresponding print products. See page 7 for complete details.
