Spanish Curriculum Overview

Spanish Curriculum Overview

The Spanish Language Arts series consists of eighteen titles for grades 1-6 and the Mathematics series consists of eight titles for grades 1-8. Included with the Spanish curriculum are two assessment modules that will diagnose student skill deficiencies and then automatically create a lesson prescription that can be used for remediation or enrichment. Each lesson in this series has been carefully adapted to follow the guidelines of our English version of the software. The titles have been created and written according to most state and national academic standards so that teachers have the assurance that the learning objectives are being taught Spanish speaking students.

The authors collaborated with specialists in developing the technology resources to support the educational needs of Spanish speaking communities. Experienced educators in Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Guatemala were selected to create the Spanish version of the Language Arts and Mathematics titles.

The grade level 1-3 Language Arts titles, Lectura, Gramática, and Ortografía, have extensive tutorial and instructional voice support. The lessons in each title provide the phonetic and visual instruction to new words and word sounds while giving the student an opportunity to use words in context and in whole language exercises in the Spanish language. The grade level 4-6 titles direct the students to identify and correctly use nouns, verbs, and modifiers while concentrating on the importance of sentence construction. Every title also covers the correct usage of all letters of the Spanish alphabet. The Mathematics titles contain identical curriculum content as our English version.
