Intended for use as a basis for lectures relating to bilingual education within a reading methods course, this instructional model provides educational strategies for use with bilingual children. Written in outline form, the first two parts of the model present a rationale and objectives for the course. The third part contains (1) an historical overview of bilingual education in lecture form, (2) general classroom guidelines, (3) popular strategies to use when teaching reading to the bilingual child, (4) informal practical strategies for general classroom use, (5) suggested basal readers to use with the bilingual child, (6) a list of primary program goals, and (7) a bibliography. Various discussion questions are presented in the fourth part, while the fifth part provides a sample bilingual elementary reading lesson. The sixth section provides sources for use when teaching reading to bilingual children, as well as suggestions for basal series readers. Finally, the seventh part is an evaluation segment that contains sample test questions for reading methods students and proposals for research papers. (NKA)
