Welcome

Bilingual Solutions, Inc. aims to be at the forefront of developing research-based curricula based on proven strategies for literacy instruction in Spanish at all tiers of instruction / intervention.

Our goal is not to create Spanish versions of scientifically-validated English programs (which may, or may not, be validated for ELL students or Spanish-speakers), but to make available original materials based on research in the areas of Spanish literacy, second language acquisition and instruction for struggling learners.

Three-tiered Literacy Instruction for Spanish Speakers:
Tiers I, II or III
Conocimiento Fonológico

  • Daily phonological awareness activities for kindergarten typical learners and older struggling learners
  • Whole class, small group or individualized instruction

Tiers II and III

  • Work pages, flash cards and stories
  • Small group and individualized instruction
  • Direct, explicit instruction
  • Multiple practice and response opportunities
  • Systematic and cumulative presentation
  • Synthetic and analytic learning experiences
  • Focus on the syllable as the key
  • Component of oral and written Spanish
