alleyspeech.org:   What is Esperanza? The Esperanza program is a  Spanish multisensory structured language approach for reading, writing, and spelling. The goal of the Esperanza program is to provide a multisensory, sequential, systematic approach to achieve Spanish literacy.   The Esperanza program has an early childhood program for Preschool and Kindergarten called "Lenguaje y Lectura." This program focuses on early literacy skills.  Its components include phonological awareness, the alphabetic principle, phonics, early writing skills, oral language, and comprehension.   The next level of the Esperanza program is designed for emergent readers in first and second grade. The goal of this level  is to systematically and cumulatively develop a strong knowledge of the structure of the Spanish language so that the student can read, write, and spell in their primary language. Once the Esperanza program is completed you may incorporate the WELLS (Working with English Language Learners) program, which is the Esperanza transition program in English that can later be introduced so that the student can then apply his or her knowledge of phonology, phonics, vocabulary, and the rules of one language for the acquisition of the second language.   Subsequently, a structured English language arts program can be incorporated into the classroom while also maintaining a student's primary language skills. Ideally, you would have a "true" bilingual and biliterate student. The most important point to make about the Esperanza program is that it incorporates the essential components of an effective literacy program as defined by the National Literacy Panel. The Esperanza program can also be used as an early reading intervention program for Spanish-speaking students.
