The curriculum guide for teachers of Spanish language arts for native Spanish-speaking primary students in the Chicago public schools' bilingual education program is introduced by a section outlining the program and 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. Except for a preface and introduction in English, the text is entirely in Spanish. (MSE)
