This allows students to become acquainted with the theme before focusing on the decoding and reading of new vocabulary. The more students have knowledge and command of the spoken language, the easier they can read and write the written language. • Centers for word work and reading. • Visuals (drawings, photos, internet websites, real objects, graphic organizers) are a necessity to help students relate the word with the object or idea itself. • In Progress: • Listening centers where students can hear recorded text in the target language
