Overview
There are more than 20,000 Spanish–English cognates—words that are similar in spelling and meaning in both languages. Because many of these cognates are essential for comprehending school texts, systematic cognate instruction can help young bilingual learners master the vocabulary words and literacy skills they need for academic success.
This is the first comprehensive, practical guidebook on seamlessly working cognate instruction into existing lesson plans using high-quality picture books. Developed by respected researchers with first-hand classroom experience, this book is a great resource for bilingual educators and specialists as well as monolingual English-speaking teachers who want to support their bilingual learners. Teachers can search the website by title, author, and reading level to find appropriate picture books and all their cognates. The website also includes 250+ quick, ready-to-use cognate lesson plans for select picture books—easy add-ons any teacher can start using tomorrow.
