Workshop: Learn Spanish through Reading Children’s Books
The workshop is designed for those that want to improve their Spanish abilities but are stuck in a limited vocabulary range. Participants will learn to use second-language (L2) reading and writing strategies to enhance Spanish language acquisition and how to access and use high-interest Spanish language literacy materials. From nursery rhymes to illustrated books for young children, participants in this course will learn how to use children’s materials to enhance their own Spanish language and support K-12 ESOL students’ emerging (bi) literacy. This workshop assumes participants have some novice-intermediate Spanish knowledge.
Registration cost is $100 and includes workshop materials, parking pass, certificate of completion and refreshment break.
