Paired Texts and Perspectives at the Advance Fluent Stage Make Flying Start to Literacy™

Your K–5 Comprehensive Literacy Resource!

A Message from Linda HoytThe newly released Flying Start to Literacy concept sets at stages 8 and 9 help learners build a strong foundation of concepts and vocabulary as they experience guided and scaffolded reading of one informational and one narrative title focused on a single, but highly engaging topic.

With this strong foundation, readers then reach toward independence as they interact with Perspectives—collections filled with short texts based on the very same topic.

These have the goal of stimulating evaluative and critical thinking while engaging learners with graphic organizers, literate conversations, and persuasive writing. Learners will love the selection of short, authentic texts: posters, photographs, vox pops, interviews, arguments, personal recounts, reports, and primary source documents. And, teachers will love the resulting bursts of language, deep thinking, and powerful persuasive writing.

For more about Flying Start’s new concept sets for Advanced Fluent readers, see page 5.

Linda Hoyt is the Series Consultant for the Flying Start to Literacy Perspectives collections.

Las calabazas crecieron más y más.

–Le llevaré la calabaza más grande al rey – dijo el hermano menor.

El rey vio cada una de las calabazas. Y entonces vio la calabaza del hermano menor.

Combine Despegando hacia la lectura with Flying Start to Literacy for a content-rich new choice for dual-language programs

What is unique about Despegando hacia la lectura?

• Supports language development among all learners with emphasis on key vocabulary

• Scaffolds both English and Spanish learners toward reading and language proficiencies in their primary as well as secondary language

• Delivers in Spanish all teacher talk and instructions by the teacher to the students.

Throughout the program, an instructional path that includes observation, questioning, and scaffolding provides teachers with a range of formative assessment to both inform and enhance their teaching.

Use Despegando hacia la lectura to:

• Provide foundations for reading, writing, and language proficiency in the primary grades

• Augment instruction through small group differentiated reading

Despegando hacia la lectura is a comprehensive, Spanish-language, early literacy resource that can be fully implemented as a stand-alone early literacy program. Combine it with its English language counterpart—the award-winning Flying Start to LiteracyTM—for rigorous dual-literacy instruction.

Take-Home Books (one from each pair) include activities to encourage reading and writing practice as well as parental involvement.

Connected, paired books (fiction and informational) share concepts and content vocabulary.

Animales de granja

Getting startedEncourage students to sit facing a partner and tell each other what they know about one or more of the photographs on the Vocabulary Starter. Ask students to report to the class about one thing they learned from their partner and one thing they would like to learn more about.

Word listsAsk: ¿Qué tipo de animales pueden ser animales de granja? ¿Un burro podría ser un animal de granja? ¿Un tigre podría ser un animal de granja? ¿Por qué los animales de granja viven en granjas?

Discuss words that can be used to describe each of the animals on the Vocabulary Starter. Write a list of these words on the board.

¿Cómo se llama una vaca bebé? ¿Cómo se llama una vaca macho? Repeat with the other animals on the card. Make a list showing the terms for the adult and juvenile form of each animal.

Sentence starterStudents could play a game of “Fui a la granja”. To play, students take it in turns to say: Fui a una granja y vi un/una... (nombre del animal), y estaba... (breve enunciado sobre el animal). For example: Fui a una granja y vi una oveja, y estaba comiendo pasto. The next student repeats what the first student said and adds a new sentence about another animal, e.g. Luego vi una vaca, y estaba siendo ordeñada. Keep playing to see who can remember the most animals without making a mistake.

Writing sentencesUse the words from the Vocabulary Starter as a writing resource.

Have students write about and draw farm animals. Encourage the students to refer to the Vocabulary Starter to support their writing.

Have students make a model farm using plasticine, craft sticks, and plastic farm animals. Encourage students to add labels and write signs for their farm. Take photographs of the farms and use these to make a class book. Students can work in pairs to write the text for the book.

SpellingStudents could play the game “Bingo de animales de granja” in small groups. To play, each student should write two of the words from the Vocabulary Starter on a piece of paper. Encourage students to check their spelling against the Vocabulary Starter. Shuffle the picture cards (made from the Blackline master) and turn over the first card. Any student who has written the turned-over word on their paper checks it off. The first student to check off both words wins. For the next game students must write different words.

Make a wordIn pairs, students could play the game “Forma una palabra”. Put letter tiles or magnetic letters in a cloth bag. Students take turns to take a letter from the bag. The first student to make one of the words from the Vocabulary Starter wins.

Developing oral vocabulary Developing reading vocabulary Developing writing vocabulary

Getting startedIntroduce the word on each card. Point to the photograph and ask: ¿Qué es esto? ¿Puedes ver la palabra “vaca”? Ask students to look at the word. What do you notice about this word?

Draw out information about:

• word shape;• number of letters;• first letter (e.g. ¿El nombre de quién tiene la misma inicial?);• other words that sound like the word.

Repeat with other words.

First lettersMask the key vocabulary words on the Vocabulary Starter using sticky notes. Ask: ¿Qué letra esperas ver al principio de la palabra “gallo”? Unmask to check. Ask: ¿Qué dice esta palabra?

Matching words and picturesUse the Blackline master to make two-sided cards with pictures on one side and words on the other. Place the cards word-side up in the middle. Have students take turns to find and read a designated word. When the student has read the word card he/she turns it over to check he/she has matched the correct word to the picture. Continue until all pictures are revealed.

SingingSing “El viejo MacDonald tenía una granja”. Change the animal card to change the song. Have students take turns pointing to the words as the song is sung.

Despegando hacia la lectura Vocabulary Starters support the development of:

• oral language• reading • writing

They reflect the vocabulary needs of students in the first few years of school (key vocabulary) and have direct relevance to students’ everyday lives and interests. As well, these words support curriculum, including science and social studies.

This card can be:

• read as a book;• opened up into a chart;• folded to reveal single images one at a time.

Despegando hacia la lectura Vocabulary Starters can be used:

• to introduce new vocabulary;• as a word bank – displayed opened out on a bulletin board

as a writing resource;• as a stimulus for discussion, (e.g. ¿Dónde puedes ver estos

animales? ¿Por qué estos animales viven en granjas?);• to support students by linking spoken and written

vocabulary to clear photographs;• to build confidence using the vocabulary.

The Vocabulary Starter Animales de granja supports the vocabulary used in the Despegando hacia la lectura Early Emergent stage books Te miro and Animales de la granja.

Explorations Grades K–2Program Overview

A Resource for Small Group Instruction with Clear Emphasis on STEM and Social StudiesExplorations teaches children how to become critical readers, thinkers and talkers, and writers of informational texts. It has been carefully structured and leveled to introduce concepts and features of informational texts appropriate for each developmental stage of reading.

Immerse and engage students in rich, varied informational texts appropriate to their cognitive development with age appropriate content. Using Explorations, students become competent readers and writers of these text types:

Recount Report Explanation Procedure Argument

TM

Be there to guide students as they learn to access information through these features that make informational texts unique:

• tables of contents

• specialized vocabulary

• headings

• diagrams

• labels

• glossaries

• indexes

Understanding Text Types Each text type has its own special language conventions, features, and writing frameworks. Explorations provides teachers with clear models of text types for whole-group and small-group instruction. Students gain a deeper understanding of the information the author is conveying, and of the features and conventions of the text type used. With this critical understanding in place, students pursue topics that excite them by reading about important issues, places, people, and ideas.
