Suggested traditional as well as block schedule formats are provided for the teacher. Use of the many ancillaries available with the program is facilitated with correlated icons in the columns of the Annotated Teacher's Edition. The wide choice of ancillaries is provided for reinforcement and review. Both the first and second levels can be finished in one year, although that is not the primary goal. If the book is not finished, the first chapter in level two offers a complete review of the key concepts from the previous year.
Review continues on an ongoing basis throughout levels two and three.
The third-level book is also designed in such a way that the teacher can select the chapters to be taught at third level, and pick up other chapters and outside readers for enrichment at the fourth level. The vocabulary provides for the students an opportunity to review the vocabulary without interference of English. As mentioned in earlier responses, the uncluttered format, the step-by step building of skills through activities that move from the mechanical to the creative offer opportunities for all students to demonstrate the acquisition of Spanish. In addition, the Assessment contains a booklet entitled, Portfolio Assessment with a list of communicative functions and rubrics for an ongoing self, peer, and teacher assessment of proficiency. For the classroom in which the majority of the students are learning Spanish as a second language, we have designed an activity book and reader for the native speakers that may also be in the same class and need more practice in reading and writing.
