Your bilingual students aren't writing their personal narrative because they need to practice their oral language before they write. This personal narrative routine will support your students in their Spanish language development with opportunities to talk, build vocabulary words before they write on their own.

Your dual-language students will benefit when you create a language rich classroom.

This is included in your Pa'Lante Membership 

Highlights:
