OUR GOAL
The
goal of the Elementary English program is the development and encouragement of fluent readers, articulate writers and speakers
as well as discerning viewers and listeners.
GENERAL OVERVIEW AND OBJECTIVES
The Language
Arts Program reunites all the skills related and tending to an effective communication in English in oral form as well as
written. Reading
is the essential part of the program using as base both authentic stories ( published previously) or created for a specific
purpose. The program includes multiple exposures to critical skills and learning
strategies that can be shared to the learning of the native language.
The Language Arts Program is based in routines, since research
has shown us that a habitual and methodical way to learn helps students identify strategies that the students will need later
in other subjects. These routines show students how to pose questions prior to reading
in order to set a purpose for reading and how to use skills and strategies to make meaning of whatever they read.
