We have been utilizing El camino al éxito for almost 3 years now and we have found that it is the best product available for systematic phonological awareness and phonics instruction. Since we’ve incorporated ECE into our instruction, the majority of our kindergarten students have been able to reach their goals and enter first grade well-prepared. For example, at the middle of this school year, 93% of our bilingual Kindergarten students were at or above the benchmark expectation in Spanish. According to one of our Kindergarten teachers, students are developing their Spanish skills so well that they are being even more successful with their English acquisition. This just proves that with a program like ECE that builds a solid foundation in L1 skills, our emergent bilingual students can become truly biliterate.

There are some resources in Spanish to support our emergent bilinguals, but "Sistema de Lectura (SIL)" has helped our students to close gaps in literacy. SIL is a quality and literacy multilevel product that we have implemented successfully specifically in our intervention small group time supporting and developing the foundational and reading skills according to our student's needs.
