In El Paso, we offer Spanish literacy classes for pre-literate students.
Generally students with educations in Mexico below the third grade will go
into Spanish literacy.  Our goal is to move up to the 6th grade level in
Spanish before we start ESL.  For more information, contact Andres muro at
andresm@epcc.edu.
