Appreciate teacher Judith:

We, at American Hispanic Schools have a kind of pre- ASE program based in
the E.F.F.(search at NIFL) standards, about basic sckills: materials include
a "Wheel" and simple and extended material for work readniness.

Copy these materials in English and in Spanish;
Tell your students about the same latin origin of English an Spanish
vocabulary and direct them to read every word in the 2 languages to verify
how easy is to understand those words meaning.
After that, explain about similarity of the grammar, though subjects like
VERBS: present,past andf future times.

WHO,WHAT,WHOSE, HOW, ETC.
GERUNDS AND INFINITIVES / AUXILIARY VERBS / PASSIVE SENTENCES / ADJETIVE
CLAUSES / COUNT NOUNS and ARTICLES / NOUN CLAUSES/
USING WISH / IF / IRREGULAR VERBS / CAPITALIZATION / PREPOSITION
COMBINATIONS /

After EVERY EACH CLASS , every studend mus HAND write a short  paragraph in
English and in Spanish  at a white paper.

These steps are complemented with indiduals's READING.

YOU CAN. Go ahead. Adult Literacy is a priority in our nation and a
human right.

Best regards

PROFESSOR CONTRERAS
