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.
