How It Works

Level II has the same structure as Level I—Circle Time, Story Time, and Art Time—with the addition of Partner Time.
Level II differs from Level I by adding thematic units, higher level performance targets, a Partner Time segment, and more independent reading and writing.
Thematic units provide opportunities to engage students in more complex and sophisticated thinking and language use.
Higher level performance targets focus on developing acquisition and age-appropriate Spanish for effective communication.
In Partner Time, students engage in a peer-to-peer setting and use the three modes of communication—interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational. Partners work together to interpret text and/or images, then use that information in an interpersonal exchange to complete a task. Partners then use their Spanish to present information to each other or to the class.
More independent reading and writing occurs through the reading and writing that is required in the Partner Time activities and the portfolio activities.
