The curriculum guide for teachers of Spanish language arts for native Spanish-speaking students in the Chicago public schools' bilingual education program is introduced by a section defining the areas to be emphasized in the program: word attack, comprehension skills, study skills, and literature appreciation. Sections follow for each of the areas of emphasis, containing specific behavioral objectives and skills, instructional strategies and class activities for them, evaluation criteria, and a place for teachers to note useful references. Some illustrations and a bibliography are provided. The text is entirely in Spanish. (MSE)
