language teaching and learning processes. This session
also familiarizes teachers with the resources available
to enhance the teaching and learning of Spanish as a
foreign language in the secondary classroom, including
textbooks and ancillaries, manipulatives, both controlled
Spanish readers and authentic Spanish language
literature (literature written by Spanish speakers for

Metodología de la comprensión lectora y estrategias
para el lector incipiente*
978-1-61435-583-0
This session explains the importance of integrating
reading comprehension with the development of higher
thinking skills. Enabling students to read analytically is
one of the main goals of the new approach to teaching
reading in Spanish. Participants learn and discuss the
three main reading skills students must develop: (1)
recognize the meaning of a word or phrase within the
context of the other ideas presented in the text; (2)
identify and understand basic reading forms (beginning,
development, resolution; reading genres, types of reading
selections, etc.) and (3) identify the relationships between
the ideas presented in a reading selection in order to
analyze and synthesize the information.
