English Vocabulary for the Spanish Speaker
English Vocabulary for the Spanish Speaker 150 150 hill-fisher

Fisher Hill has six easy to use workbooks called English Vocabulary for the Spanish Speaker. The six workbooks use many pictures and graphic organizers to help students expand their English vocabulary. Graphic organizers are visual representations or frames used to organize information.  They can help students see the relationships between ideas which will allow students to more easily understand, remember and apply information.  Having a well developed vocabulary is the key to reading comprehension.  The more words a person knows, the better they will understand the text.  A well developed vocabulary not only improves listening and reading comprehension but also writing composition.   At the end of each workbook, there is an Answer Key and an English translation of the Spanish directions.

The six English Vocabulary for the Spanish Speaker workbooks are part of Fisher Hill’s English Structured Literacy Program for Spanish speakers. The Structured Literacy Program has six levels with four workbooks at each level:  Reading and Spelling, Reading Comprehension, Writing Composition and Vocabulary. Each level begins with the Reading and Spelling workbook. https://fisher-hill.com/english-structured-literacy-program/

English Reading and Spelling for Spanish Speakers
English Reading and Spelling for Spanish Speakers 150 150 hill-fisher

Fisher Hill has  six  English Reading and Spelling for the Spanish Speaker workbooks. https://fisher-hill.com/product-category/reading-and-spelling/ 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 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.  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.  In English Reading and Spelling for the Spanish Speaker Books 4, 5, and 6, prefixes and suffixes are introduced and practiced.

A Good Summer’s Read – Stepping Into Fountains!
A Good Summer’s Read – Stepping Into Fountains! 150 150 hill-fisher

Do you need a good summer’s read?  Fisher Hill has a new Enovel!  Stepping Into Fountains is  a young woman’s odyssey to South America, Appalachia, Berkeley and beyond to learn about life outside of sheltered, small-town America in the 1970s. It recounts in colorful detail the unforgettable experience working with impoverished children from Colombia’s slums; the summer she worked in a children’s home in Appalachia; the fall season when she and a friend  drove a ‘53 Chevy from Kansas to California, picking up every hitchhiker along the way; selling cookies on Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley; traveling north from Panama City to the United States border by local bus; three months traveling alone throughout Mexico. She wasn’t in Kansas anymore. This is her story, her odyssey, beginning in the summer of 1972 to the fall of 1976.
