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 fluency, reading comprehension, spelling, and writing.
