Adult Spanish Literacy: Home English Literacy for Parents Project.
Dean, Margaret
A home-based Spanish literacy program for Spanish-speaking parents in Elgin, Illinois, which began as a project of the Elgin school district, is described. The program originated with a search for literacy instructional materials for this group. The curriculum was designed to focus on functional Spanish literacy and basic arithmetic skills, the needs expressed by the students. This report describes the organization and content of the literacy and arithmetic components, provides a scope and sequence of curriculum concepts in reading, writing, math, and English as a Second Language, discusses the student population, and describes the largely anecdotal approach to assessment. It is concluded that the program responded to a community need and was well received, and the hope is expressed that a similar program may be offered in the future for other Hispanic adults in need of native language literacy. Appended materials include the student pretest, Spanish-language registration and student information forms, and sample Spanish and math lessons.
