Two-Way Dual Language Program

  • In RCSD, the Prekindergarten Two-Way Dual Language program model of 90/10, includes sequential and simultaneous programs. The teacher and paraprofessional provide instruction in Spanish (90%) and English (10%). The goal of this program is for students to develop: 

     

    • Oral language proficiency in Spanish and English  

    • Literacy in Spanish (immersion for simultaneous bilinguals) 

    In order to be bilingual, biliterate, and bicultural. 

    Emergent (Sequential) Bilinguals
    Children who are exposed to a second language after the age of three. 

    Simultaneous Bilinguals 
    Children who are exposed to more than one language prior to the age of three.
