It's
no mystery that those who can read and write well will have a distinct
advantage in our increasingly competitive societies. It is also clear
that the task of gaining these viable literacy skills in a second or
foreign language poses unique challenges for learners and their teachers.
Bridge Books and the Bridge
Book Method
were designed to provide a foundational approach for dealing with this
crucial issue of developing students' literacy skills in languages not
normally spoken in their homes.
Bridge Books are not just another set of free-floating readers to add to your collection; they are powerful and versatile literacy tools. They can be used in virtually any second or foreign language instructional setting, including
- One-on-one Tutoring
- Small Group Instruction
- Reading Center Activities
- Family Literacy Efforts
- Cross-age and Peer Tutoring
Bridge Books were also designed to meet the goals of many instructional philosophies, including:
- Transitional Language Programs
- Bilingual Classroom Instruction
- Immersion and Dual Immersion
