Teaching Early Grade Literacy to Migrant Children from Central America and the Dominican Republic
Teaching Early Grade Literacy to Migrant Children from Central America and the Dominican Republic
This resource aims at helping NYC teachers and educators adopt a culturally relevant approach to the teaching of literacy to migrant populations from Central America and the Dominican Republic. The focus is on early grades (K-1 and K-2), but the content can be used for other grades and populations struggling with literacy, such as students with interrupted formal education. The first two chapters describe and analyze the general and educational contexts in Central America and the Dominican Republic to help teachers identify the skills that their incoming students should have upon arrival. The third and last chapter guides teachers and educators on the use of culturally relevant pedagogy to teach early grade literacy. It integrates Central American and Dominican cultural tools and resources to explore the teaching or reading comprehension, phonological awareness, writing, and cultural awareness overall. This guide was produced in collaboration with the Central American and Early Literacy Network (RedLEI).

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
