Streamlined Curriculum for struggling readers 2nd grade and upEstrellitas Fugaces is based on Estrellita's decoding methodology and is streamlined for use with older students. This curriculum is intended for struggling readers in 2nd grade and above. These students have proficiency in phonics and phonemic awareness but need additional support in blending with sílabas, palabras, oraciones and cuentos to achieve grade level reading and strong skills sets with vocabulary, fluency and comprehension. This program is intended to be used in an intervention setting and is particularly beneficial if students have been exposed to Estrellita K-1 program in previous grades. Las Estrellitas Fugaces combines the K-1 program with Lunita to provide students with exposure to over 99% of all the sílabas blends in Spanish. Additionally, the curriculum will begin with a short review of all of the Sonidos Iniciales to ensure students have a strong foundation in phonics and phonemic awareness. For students who already know how to decode but who are lacking fluency, it will serve to reinforce decoding skills and build fluency, vocabulary and basic comprehension.
