Knowledge and Skills Statement

Developing and sustaining foundational language skills: listening, speaking, reading, writing, and thinking--vocabulary. The student uses newly acquired vocabulary expressively.
Students should know that many words in the Spanish language look or sound like other words with completely different meanings. These multiple-meaning words require students to use the information around the word, either spoken or written, to determine how the word should be interpreted. Multiple-meaning words are challenging in reading because readers must rely solely on the context to know which form of a word is being used. For example, the word bote may refer to a vessel to transport by water or to a sealed container for food or beverages. In the following sentence, El bote se movía a gran velocidad por el lago, it’s clear which meaning of bote the writer intends.
