reading in the classroom, whether as shared,
guided, or independent reading.

are also exible enough
to use at home by parents as a stand-alone
reading companion. The
Annotated Edition
contains point-of-use teaching suggestions
and answer keys, and comes with an
Audio CD
of the reading selections as well
as the
Comprendo lo que leí
activities.
A student

version is also available.
How to Use the
Antología
Antes de leer
This section is comprised of guided
questions that help connect students to prior
knowledge they may have about the subject
or theme. The
Annotated Edition
includes
teacher/parent prompts to further enhance
the guided questions. These prompts can
be used in conjunction with pre-reading
strategies—such as previewing, KWL charts,
and brainstorming—to help prepare students
for the reading selection.
A number of vocabulary words are
highlighted in each selection. These words
can be introduced to students before
they start reading to ensure a better
understanding of the selection. A glossary
of the highlighted vocabulary can be found
at the end of the book.
Descubre el español con Santillana
is a comprehensive program designed
to teach Spanish as a world language in
elementary school classrooms. Created
with teacher flexibility in mind, the
program can be used in a FLES setting,
or it can be used to support FLEX or
Dual-Language instruction.
The
Antologías
are an integral part of the
Descubre el español con Santillana
program.
They are a collection of authentic grade-
appropriate literature, thematically correlated
to each unit of the student book. There is
one
Antología
per grade, for
grades 1 to 5.
Each unit in the
Antología
includes
three readings from different genres to
accommodate the needs of students of
Spanish, as well as heritage speakers, who
generally have a stronger command of
vocabulary than beginning FLES students.
The readings are divided into three
categories:
Beginner
,
Intermediate
,
and
Advanced
.
Each reading includes appropriate
pre- and post-reading activities designed
to help support the literacy skills taught
in
Descubre el español con Santillana
,
including accessing prior knowledge,
vocabulary, phonics, reading uency, reading
comprehension, spelling, and writing.
