Designed for Spanish, dual language, and bilingual classes, Fonética y gramática for grades K–2, provides Spanish poems, stories, and nonfiction, linked to instructional materials and support. Flexible purchase options allow customers to purchase the program either as print only or print with online access.
The program is organized into three levels, ¡Comienza! (Kindergarten), ¡Sigue! (Grade 1), and ¡Avanza! (Grade 2). Each level includes 10 three-week units and utilizes instructional resources, manipulatives, and texts, including posters, teacher lap books, and decodable readers. Students progress to learning and working with essential types of words and grammar lessons that enable them to read and write complete sentences.
