Welcome

Bilingual Solutions, Inc. aims to be at the forefront of developing research-based curricula based on proven strategies for literacy instruction in Spanish at all tiers of instruction / intervention.

Our materials are based on research in the areas of Spanish early literacy, Spanish phonemic awareness, and best practice for struggling learners. They are not translations or adaptations of scientifically validated English programs (which may, or may not, be validated for ELL students or Spanish-speakers).

Three-tiered Literacy Instruction for Spanish Speakers:
Tiers I, II or III

  • Daily phonological awareness activities for kindergarten typical learners and older struggling learners
  • Whole class, small group or individualized instruction

  • Work pages, flash cards and stories
  • Small group and individualized instruction
  • Direct, explicit instruction
  • Multiple practice and response opportunities
  • Systematic and cumulative presentation
  • Synthetic and analytic learning experiences
  • Focus on the syllable as the key component of oral
