This report is one of a series of reports on various aspects of a multi-year Spanish-to-English language arts transition curriculum in the Los Angeles, CA, area. The program uses 8-week literature units to promote first and second language acquisition and academic achievement in grades 2-5. The authors describe four effective instructional strategies used in the program: building students’ background knowledge, drawing on students’ personal experiences, promoting extended discourse through writing and discussion, and assisting students in re-reading pivotal portions of the text.
