Book Description
"This classroom action research study explores Spanish phonemic awareness instruction in a 1st grade classroom. The research discussed in the paper relates to effective teaching of Spanish phonics to beginning readers using a teacher-made activity and Estrellita, a published accelerated Spanish reading program. Collected data included the Spanish Primary Language Arts Assessment Phonological Awareness subtest, observations of five targeted students during early emergent guided reading lessons and samples of student work. The researcher saw benefits to both the instructional strategies, but found the systematic, explicit Estrellita program to be the most beneficial for phonics instruction in a Spanish Balanced Literacy classroom"--Publisher's Web site.
