Take a look at these new resources for Hispanic families. Foto-novelas are a great way to engage those who are struggling with English.

 

 

Innovative Materials for Hispanic Families 


Parents + Schools = Successful Children / Padres + Escuelas = Niños Exitosos are new bilingual products/tools designed to raise awareness of the importance of parental involvement in the education of ELL children. Through a Dollar General Literacy Foundation grant, NCFL has created family literacy materials patterned after comic books and graphic novels, which are extremely popular in Spanish-speaking cultures.

Materials include:
1. Two bilingual foto-novelas for parents titled "Get Involved!" (¡Involúcrate!) and "Reading at Home" (Lectura en el hogar)

2. For the web, flash movies based on the two foto-novelas, with audio in English and Spanish

3. A practitioner guide with lesson plans and activities for adult ESL and native language use
