WABE 2025 Dual Language Winter Institute

How can we reimagine teaching students to read in two languages that reflects the Science of Reading research and a holistic bilingual approach? Learning to read bilingually does not require redundantly teaching two parallel monolingual scope & sequences. In this interactive session, we will present an integrated bilingual foundational skills (FS) scope & sequence used to authentically reflect the structures and methodologies of English and Spanish, foster metalinguistic awareness, and capitalize on transfer. Through videos, artifacts, and research, participants will learn about systems and structures necessary to engage in holistic FS instruction, resulting in higher biliteracy achievement.
