From the immersion program director
How do immersion teachers embed language instruction into content instruction? Our immersion teachers use an approach to teaching known as counterbalanced instruction. At its most basic level, this means that our teachers are continually striving to integrate linguistic instruction in the middle of the grade-level content. For example, while teaching a math lesson, an immersion teacher will be constantly aware of the linguistic focus for the week; as s/he encounters this concept in written or spoken language of the math lesson, s/he will encourage the students to notice and produce the new language structure. The teacher might read a story problem, take a half minute to point out the use of past tense in the problem and then return to the math concept. The teacher could design a partner math activity which requires the use of the past tense so that the students get practice producing it. In this way, our teachers are becoming experts at doing a dance between both content and language instruction, and our students are able to gain a stronger grasp of their new language without sacrificing content at all.
Book it!
The Pizza Hut Book It reading calendar will be sent soon! Check your child’s communication folders. The program runs from October thru March.

Strategies:

  • I can use the pictures to help me
  • I can get my mouth ready for the first sound or syllable
  • I check that what I see matches what I say
  • I can find parts (syllables) that I already know in words to help me
  • If it’s a long word or a word I don’t know, I can put my finger under each syllable to read syllable by syllable and then go back and re-read the WHOLE word
  • Does it make sense? Does it look right?  (if it doesn’t go back and re-read)
  • I say the first sound and slide through all the sounds
  • I can say known words quickly and accurately
