Leveraging the Science of Reading

At the heart of the Science of Reading is the Simple View of Reading, a formula describing how skilled reading requires both language comprehension and word recognition. ÐÔ°®°ÍÊ¿Caminos is built on this model, with powerful resources that drive real results.

Developing foundational skills explicitly and systematically

ÐÔ°®°ÍÊ¿Caminos instruction is based on how the Spanish language works. Students learn vowel sounds and common sounds before blending them to form syllables and words. Less frequent consonants and other complex elements are presented later, with an intentional progression that sets students up for success.

Building background knowledge drives results

Students dig deeper and make connections across content areas to build a robust knowledge base for comprehending complex texts. ÐÔ°®°ÍÊ¿Caminos and ÐÔ°®°ÍÊ¿CKLA follow the Core Knowledge Sequence—a content-specific, cumulative, and coherent approach to building knowledge—with parallel topics to support research-based and equitable Tier 1 instruction in Spanish and English.
