=ESL English/Spanish Bulletin Boards = //By: Esmeralda Ramon//

A subheading in anSMU article reads:

// **“Hispanic Reading Difficulties Go Untreated” ** //

//“In Texas, about 90 percent of LEP students are Spanish speakers, with the other coming from homes where any of more than 60 languages are spoken. // //“Hispanic children are the fastest growing population in the schools." //


 * As educators, providing interesting and fun ways to help students learn and enjoy reading is an ever more daunting task. One of the largest challenges I have faced in the ESL classroom is getting students to sit up and take notice of //__anything__// in print. All too often I have instructed students who were almost never exposed to books or able to nurture the importance of reading even from a young age. **


 * However, todays foreign immigrants are Digital Natives. As with the growing number of today’s youth processing pictures rather than words hinders reading and foreign language acquisition. A wonderful tool to bridge that gap is the //Bilingual Bulletin Board//. **


 * Through the use of technology such as clipart, the internet, and an Office Word Program words can be fused with images which instantly spark the interest of your students. See how their eyes light up at the funny eccentric images. They yearn to know what it all means. Suddenly, students are inquiring about these strange traditions and comparing the differences in culture. The more timid students are sneaking in between classes and using their dictionary to determine what certain words mean. **


 * Each of the links below leads to a thematic document using the “Parallel Story” technique- Translated courtesy of Esmeralda Ramon- providing vibrant colorful words and images in English and Spanish for the Middle-School and above audience. **
 * Just follow these instructions- **









Add a custom touch to your bulletin board by designing the best lay-out of the text & images!
