Learning resources for Portuguese-American bilingual education in reading development and social studies comprise this series. The two-fold purpose of the series is to improve reading skills of bilingual students and to increase appreciation of the Portuguese culture. The materials are designed for intermediate and secondary Portuguese-American students who have not had the benefits of bilingual training in the lower grades. This unit examines the Portuguese in early California and California today, games for review, the trip to America, reasons for emigrating, and learning activities. The materials are also published in Portuguese. (Author/JR)
