#Biliteracy promotes the ability to read and write in two languages, fostering cultural understanding, enhancing cognitive skills, and improving communication. It's essential for global engagement, education, and diverse community connection.
I know you’re freaking out about your middle-of-the-year data—but let me tell you this: centers can’t replace YOU. If you keep relying on the same centers to teach literacy, I can already tell you how your end-of-year data will look... and it won’t be good. 👉 If 80% of your students are struggling with a skill, or you are teaching grade level reading skills, that’s when you will deliver those lessons whole group.  
👉 Save small groups for intervention or review (preferably with an experienced adult). Centers have become the default in classrooms, but they’re often a big time waster.    If you want support delivering instruction that will get your mid year data moving in the right direction, the Palante Membership will get you there!   #duallanguage #duallanguageteacher #duallanguageteacherproblems #maestrabilingüe #biliteracy #oracy #spanishteacher #firstgrade #palantemember #duallanguageteacherproblems #newduallanguageteacher #duallanguageteacherproblems
Every time I share El Dictado resources and best practices, someone always asks: “Does it work for [insert grade]?” The answer: YES. Whether you’re teaching 1st grade, 5th grade, or even middle school, El Dictado is one of the most effective Tier 1 dual language practices you can use. Here’s why it works for ALL grades: ✅ Reinforces key orthographic and grammatical patterns ✅ Builds metalinguistic awareness ✅ Bridges connections between Spanish and English Curious how to make El Dictado work in your classroom?

Your elementary dual language students need a visual rubric so they can know exactly how they are doing and have examples on how to improve without repeating yourself.  #duallanguage #duallanguageteacher #duallanguageteacherproblems #maestrabilingüe #biliteracy #oracy #spanishteacher #firstgrade #palantemember #duallanguageteacherproblems #newduallanguageteacher #duallanguageteacherproblems
To all the teachers I offended this past year—I meant it with love and a challenge to do better.  Let’s make 2025 the year we step up our student engagement and language supports, so I don’t have to be that nagging old lady. 😉 #duallanguageteacherproblems #duallanguage  #newduallanguageteacher #biliteracy #oracy #orallanguage #newduallanguageteacher #maestrabilingüe
Standardized testing isn’t going anywhere, but as a dual language teacher, the lack of resources doesn’t have to hold you back.  🔥If you need support with accessing high-quality biliteracy materials aligned to research, I can help!  #duallanguageteacher #duallanguage #duallanguageteacherproblems #newduallanguageteacher #palantemember #biliteracy
Dual language teachers, stop translating everything! 🚫  Translating creates dependency and is a short term Instead:  ✅focus on strategies that actually build biliteracy ✅ Purposeful bridging  ✅ Oracy activities ✅ El dictado  ✅ Explicit word study. When you stop translating and start teaching intentionally, your students will truly engage in both languages. 💡  Looking to improve your biliteracy practices? I can help!  #DualLanguageTeacher #Biliteracy #BilingualEducation #Oracy #DualLanguageClassroom #MaestraBilingüe #ScienceOfBiliteracy #DualLanguageTips #BiliteracyStrategies
🚩Do they really think this is accurately assessing language? GTFOH! If you’ve never seen it before, watching newcomer elementary students shut down during standardized tests that weren’t made for them is absolutely heart-wrenching. 🥺 It’s delusional to expect that a newcomer’s first priority is learning US geography or how to play niche games they’ve never even seen. These writing prompts demand knowledge these students haven’t had a chance to build—all while they’re still trying to acclimate to a new country, a new school, and a new language. If you believe our students deserve better and want to implement practices that won’t leave your students putting their heads down in class or fighting tears because they’re embarrassed, be sure to follow.  #duallanguage #duallanguageteacher #duallanguageteacherproblems #maestrabilingüe #biliteracy #oracy #spanishteacher #firstgrade #palantemember #duallanguageteacherproblems #newduallanguageteacher #duallanguageteacherproblems
Steal my first grade word strategy routine that hits all 4 language domains: 🗣️ Repeat it. 👂 Break it into sounds and syllables. ⭐️Identify la sílaba tónica  ✍️ Write it. 📖 Read it. 💡 Bonus: This ties perfectly into el Dictado! I’ve seen the most growth using this with my first graders—and it’s a game-changer for intervention groups needing extra support. Have you used a strategy like this?  Let me know!  #duallanguage #duallanguageteacher #maestrabilingüe #multilingualstudents #bilingualclassroom #biliteracy #biliteracyteacher #newduallanguageteacher
🚨Help is not coming.  The answer is YOU! When you are brave enough to be fearless and make instructional decisions in your classroom—decisions that adapt, scaffold, and prioritize biliteracy—your students will finally feel confident speaking in the target language, participating in meaningful ways, and start to see themselves as readers and writers in both languages. No interventionist or curriculum will do that. YOU can only rely on yourself!  And while it takes courage to take action, you don’t have to start from scratch. 🔥Pa’Lante Biliteracy Membership offers the tools and mini-PD to guide you in making those bold instructional moves. Plus, you’ll get ready-to-go resources aligned to biliteracy that you can trust to support your students’ growth. You already have what it takes to make these changes. It starts with you. Vamos Pa’Lante. 🔥 #duallanguageteacher #bilingualeducation #biliteracy #biliteracyteacher #bilingualclassroom #scienceofbiliteracy #palantemember #duallanguage #duallanguageteacherproblems
🔥 There are teachers out there with less passion than you, less talent than you...but they’re still getting the results while you’re freaking out over your mid-year benchmark data. Why does this happen? 
Because they’re not wasting energy battling bad curriculum or reinventing the wheel.
 They know:
✅ What to focus on.
✅ What to skip.
✅ How to supplement with the right resources. Aquí está el chisme….  Passion for dual language isn’t enough!  That’s exactly what I help you with in Pa'Lante—simplifying your planning and decisions so you can focus on what works, skip what doesn’t, and get real results for your students.

Sadly dual language education still has a long way to go… but a girl can dream! 🥹 #d#duallanguaged#duallanguageteacherd#duallanguageteacherproblemsm#maestrabilingüeb#biliteracyo#oracys#spanishteacherf#firstgradep#palantememberd#duallanguageteacherproblemsn#newduallanguageteacherduallanguageteacherproblems
Dual language programs can outperform monolingual programs—when they’re done right and given the time, and instructional practices to succeed. The secret is Metalinguistic connections. When students are taught to bridge their two languages, they: ✨ Strengthen their critical thinking skills ✨ Build deeper comprehension ✨ Develop a rich vocabulary that transfers across both languages These skills don’t just stay in ELA or SLA class—they weave through every subject, elevating their learning in ways monolingual programs can’t match. Dual language success isn’t instant, but when you stay the course, the results speak for themselves. #duallanguage #duallanguageteacher #bilingualteacher #maestrabilingüe #biliteracy #bilingualeducation #palantemember  #duallanguageeducation
This isn’t some magical moment—it’s what’s supposed to happen with the right supports and routines. It’s easier than you think:
✅ Build intentional routines.
✅ Incorporate explicit oracy practice.
✅ Provide opportunities to use academic vocabulary in meaningful ways.
✅ Watch their confidence grow. If you need help building these routines and supports, you’re in the right place… well kinda (until Tiktok goes away) 🫠 #duallanguage #duallanguageteacher #duallanguageteacherproblems #maestrabilingüe #biliteracy #oracy #spanishteacher #firstgrade #palantemember #duallanguageteacherproblems #newduallanguageteacher

Dual language teachers, stay away from the chisme, and prioritize your planning time so you can keep your downtime to yourself!  #duallanguage #instructionalcoach#duallanguageteacher #duallanguageteacherproblems #maestrabilingüe #biliteracy #oracy #spanishteacher #firstgrade #palantemember #duallanguageteacherproblems #newduallanguageteacher #duallanguageteacherproblems
When it comes to writing prompts for language learners, just the right amount of scaffolding is key. Here’s what I do: ✨ Start with oracy. Students share ideas aloud with partners using sentence stems that they will use in their writing.  ✨ Start strong with a full sentence. I model the structure and vocabulary they need to feel confident. ✨ Gradually take away the supports. Each sentence has more opportunities for them to use their own words, helping them build independence. ✨ End with student ownership. By the end, they’re writing their own ideas using what they’ve learned. ⚠️Be careful… Too much support can hold them back, but the right balance sets them up to shine. Follow for more strategies to help your multilingual students grow into confident readers and writers.  #biliteracyteacher #duallanguageteacher #scienceofbiliteracy #bilingualeducation #duallanguage #multilingualstudents #biliteracy
The greatest gift you can ever give is biliteracy.  Keep going… you are doing great!  #duallanguage #duallanguageteacher #maestrabilingüe #biliteracy #scienceofbiliteracy #palantemembership #bilingualclassroom
I’ve never met a dual language teacher who didn’t want their students to become confident readers and writers in two languages. 🫠But those low-leverage activities are costing you the precious time we can’t afford to waste—especially in K-3, where the foundation for biliteracy is built. If you’re a K-3 dual language teacher ready to see real progress and implement the highest-impact strategies for biliteracy, it’s time to make a shift in your instruction. 🔥Inside the Pa'Lante Biliteracy Membership, you’ll discover bilingual resources, proven strategies, and tools designed to help your students excel while making the most of every minute in your classroom.  It’s everything you need to create a thriving biliteracy classroom.  #palantemember #duallanguage #duallanguageteacher #newduallanguageteacher #duallanguageteacherproblems #palantemember #bilingualclassroom  #biliteracy #bilingualeducation #biliteracyteacher #maestrabilingüe
Looking back, I realize I was too hard on myself when I didn’t see the progress I hoped for. ✨ I used to think a quiet classroom meant I had great classroom management. 📚 I used to think centers were enough to teach reading. 🗣️ I used to tell students I didn’t speak English so I was unable to help them bridge. 🌟 I used to think kids would just pick up the language by being immersed. 🫠I didn’t know I was doing it wrong What they really needed was oracy, whole group instruction, bridging, and explicit instruction. And what I needed was to give myself more grace because I didn’t have anyone to support me❤️ If you need support with bridging routines or explicit instruction, follow because I can help. 🫶🏽 #duallanguageteacher #duallanguage #biliteracy #duallanguageteacher #maestrabilingüe #newduallanguageteacher #bilingualeducation
