Happy New Year!   What’s new on the BLOG for ‘09

The Bilinguistics Blog continues to be a meeting place for professionals working with bilingual populations.  Thank you for all the interactions this past year, and we look forward to meeting more people in ’09.  In addition to all our regular bilingualism posts, we would like to begin including information that we have been gathering on common and not-so-common areas of our field.  In the second half of 2008 we began weekly meetings that included focuses on topics such as Autism, R-therapy strategies, etc.  We have been benefiting greatly from these resources and will begin to use this blog as a way to share the information with everyone. 

All our best in the New Year!

Auditory Memory and Sequencing Activities for all Grades

January 5, 2009

I wanted to tell everyone about an auditory memory program that Super-Duper developed.  It is a CD-ROM program with printable pages.  There are paragraphs with sets of pictures that you can cut up and sequence.  There are also these story strips that you can cut up to break a story into parts.   The nice thing about them is that they are about science and history so they match a lot of the classroom initiatives.   Unfortunately not in Spanish!  Still a good resource.
