Why take Spanish for Spanish Speakers (SSS)

instead of Traditional Spanish?

 

  • Students who have no experience with the language are clearly different from those who speak Spanish at home. 
  • Although some students might be limited in Spanish, SSS develops all areas of Spanish language proficiency
  • Many of SSS students are unfamiliar with the formal grammar of Spanish and do not read or write it in Spanish.   (Bills, 1997)

 

What are the goals of the SSS Program at FUHS?

 

  • To offer Spanish speaking students opportunities to study Spanish formally in an academic setting in the same way that native-English speaking students study English language arts 
  • To reactivate the Spanish students have learned in the past and develop it further  
  • To learn more about their language and cultural heritage
  • To ensure that all native Speakers reach both AP classes, Language and Literature. 
  • To develop Bilingual and Biliterate students receiving the SEAL OF BILITERACY upon graduation. 
  • TO STAY CONNECTED TO OUR CULTURAL ROOTS!!!!!
