CORE Phonics Survey in English and Spanish

Spanish Phonics (K-2)

Over the past month, I've been working on a few Spanish Language Arts projects for IDEA from home.  The majority of my time has been spent working on the following leveled Spanish phonics "continuum" that provides a sequence in which to introduce letters, sounds, and spelling patterns during Word Study in Spanish.  Each level includes a number of phonics principles and combinations that would each be taught according to the order found in the district's textbook adoption (Tesoros de lectura), but this leveling system can help track pretty specifically what students have and haven't mastered and can help students track their own progress from level to level.  I also created level-specific teaching and practice activities--it's a very basic beginning that can help novice Spanish Language Arts teachers get their phonics instruction up and moving.  The following phonics skills are typically taught and mastered by native Spanish speakers learning to read in L1 during Kinder, 1st Grade, and the first half of 2nd Grade.  It can certainly be used to the meet the needs of older children who need intervention or who are learning Spanish as a second language in later grades.  Once these levels are mastered, children should be expected to dive into deeper structural analysis and morphology of words.  (Please excuse any errors--after submitting them to the central office point person they were then to be reviewed and proofread, so I apologize for any and all errors you might find!)

Literacy Curriculum Work

For the next week or so, I'm working on some Spanish curriculum for the district--exciting that there will be Spanish materials developed at the district level!  I'm posting the K - 1 HFW lists--organized into levels that children will progress through, some by the end of 1st grade, others by mid-2nd grade.

We found that our new text adoption's phonics scope and sequence in Kinder could do with some "accelerating" and needed a few additional skills/objectives, so I developed these simple revisions:

I also found these Bloom's Taxonomy resources in both Spanish & English--super helpful for unit and lesson planning!
