Spanish Speakers, Learn to Read and Spell in English this Summer!
Spanish Speakers, Learn to Read and Spell in English this Summer! 150 150 hill-fisher

Fisher Hill has many easy to use workbooks for Spanish speakers to learn English. Take advantage of the lazy days of summer to learn to read and spell in English.

Fisher Hill has six easy to use workbooks to help Spanish speakers improve their English reading and spelling skills. https://fisher-hill.com/product-category/reading-and-spelling/ This series is called English Reading and Spelling for tne Spanish Speaker. The workbooks use Orton Gillingham methods to teach reading and spelling.  Orton Gillingham uses a very systematic, structured, explicit, and multisensory approach to teach the forty-four English speech sounds to read and spell. The workbooks provide practice with phonemic awareness, which is the ability to identify individual sounds and their order within words.  Learning the different speech sounds will help students read and spell in English fluently.  Eighty-five percent (85%) of words in English are phonetic.  The workbooks also present many of the commonly used words, called sight words, that are not phonetic.

The workbooks are bilingual because the word list for each lesson is presented in English and Spanish.  There are pictures to go with many of the words in the lists.  Each lesson emphasizes one or two new speech sounds.  The vowel sounds in English are different than those in Spanish, but many of the English consonant sounds are similar to those in Spanish. Most consonants in English have one sound. Vowels can make several speech sounds.  Sometimes the letter “y” is used as a vowel.

Each lesson’s word list begins with words that contain the speech sound that is being emphasized in that lesson.  The last two words in the list are sight words. Practicing English speech sounds, sight words, and their spellings will help Spanish speakers learn English reading and spelling. In English Reading and Spelling for the Spanish Speaker Books 4, 5, and 6, prefixes and suffixes are introduced and practiced.

Good Mental Health for Spanish Speakers
Good Mental Health for Spanish Speakers 150 150 hill-fisher

In my last blog, I wrote about how the joy of reading has been a comfort during my recovery of back surgery.  Today I walked around my neighborhood for the first time since the surgery.  What a joy it was!  I am also no longer lounging in my jimmie jams.  I now dressed for the day and this has been good for my mental health.

Improving yourself is also good for your mental health. Fisher Hill has two easy to use workbooks to help Spanish Speakers pass the U.S. Citizenship Test.  U.S. Citizenship for the Spanish Speaker Book 1 https://fisher-hill.com/product/u-s-citizenship-for-the-spanish-speaker-book-1/ gives Spanish speakers information to help pass the American Government questions on the Civics Test. Book 1 also provides practice to help pass the reading and writing test. U.S. Citizenship for the Spanish Speaker Book 2 https://fisher-hill.com/product/u-s-citizenship-for-the-spanish-speaker-book-2/ gives Spanish speakers information and practice to help pass the American History and Integrated Civics questions on the Civics Test.

Reading comprehension is the goal of reading.  Reading is an essential skill for jobs and daily life.  Many people enjoy reading and say it is one of their favorite pastimes.  Others read only when it is necessary. Whichever the case may be, everyone needs to know how to read.  Learning to read comes more easily to some people than others.  Most people need to be taught how to read.  It is different from learning to talk.  Learning to read can be very difficult for some people but with practice, most everyone can learn to read.

The workbooks are bilingual.  The directions are in Spanish.  The English translations for the Spanish directions are located at the back of each book.  There is also an answer key at the back.
