Program Description:
Egg Harbor Township School District offers Spanish classes for heritage and native Spanish speakers (Español para Hispanohablantes). The focus of the curriculum in each level is on developing students' literacy skills in Spanish. Children who already speak Spanish develop their reading and writing proficiency in Spanish through through reading short stories, fables, poems, and novels. The books pictured above are some of the texts used in the Hispanohablantes classes. Hispanohablantes Courses: Elementary and Middle School: 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th High School Courses: CP/HN Hispanohablantes 1 CP/HN Hispanohablantes 2 CP/HN Hispanohablantes 3 AP Spanish Literature Senior year: Students in the AP Spanish Literature course take two AP exams, both AP Spanish Literature and AP Spanish Language.

They are are able to graduate with the Seal of Biliteracy if they score Intermediate-Mid or better on all 4 sections of the AAPPL. Video explicando el programa en español. |
