Explicit and Authentic

The Lunita program provides explicit skill development in vocabulary, comprehension and fluency while incorporating all of the different learning modalities. The Teachers Guide provides structure for classroom management but the added flexibility to implement the program with other materials in mind. The word bank was developed utilizing native Spanish materials from Mexico and each of the stories were written in Spanish and not translations. All of the student materials include graphics and images to make the materials accessible for non-native speakers and to promote biliteracy. Lunita is intended to pair up with any core curriculum program and provides the focus on the core reading skills that will ensure students remain at grade level or above.
