New Spanish Reading and Language Arts Program Offers Classroom Help

     Tesoros de lectura is a new Spanish reading and language arts program for students in Grades K-6, to offer teachers support in reaching students in need of additional support.

Developed by an author team of leading Spanish-language and reading experts, the program offers explicit, systematic instruction through print and digital formats that delve deeply into the four key aspects of reading and language arts instruction: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

Tesoros de lectura strikes a balance between the use of rich, authentic Spanish literature and high quality translations of popular works published in English and other languages as well as translations of non-fiction articles. “Offering a strong balance of authentic Spanish literature and translations of classic works, Macmillan/McGraw-Hill’s Tesoros de lectura motivates and captures the interest of young readers,” said Steve McClung, president of McGraw-Hill School Solutions Group, which includes Macmillan/McGraw-Hill.

Students practice reading, writing, and grammar skills throughout Tesoros de lectura, using a range of activities including workbooks, student eBooks, vocabulary cards, listening library, and video.  In addition, the program’s colorful illustrations and careful text design help students read and comprehend material.

Side-by-side English and Spanish instruction in the Teacher’s Edition helps teachers create a practice routine and meet daily objectives.  In addition, Tesoros de lectura offers both informal and formal assessment opportunities to help teachers monitor progress and help students reach their literacy goals.
