Through the District's English as a Second Language (ESL) Program, students for whom English is a second language have a variety of support services, as well as assistance in classrooms from their teachers. Our services are based upon a model of integrated service delivery, and the long-term goal of our ESL program is to help students develop English proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. We celebrate cultural diversity as we support students whose first languages include:

  • Cebuano
  • Chinese
  • Creole
  • Hmong
  • Ho-Chunk
  • Polish
  • Russian
  • Spanish
  • Tagalog/Bisayan

A través del Programa del Distrito (ESL) Inglés Como Segundo Idioma, los alumnos quienes su segundo idioma es el inglés tienen una variedad de servicios de apoyo, asi como asistencia en los salones de clases por parte de sus profesores. Nuestro servicio está basado sobre un modelo de prestación de servicios integrados, y el propósito a largo plazo de nuestro programa ESL es ayudar a los alumnos a desarrollar proficiencia y habilidades en el escuchar, hablar, leer, y escribir en el idioma inglés. Celebramos la diversidad cultural mientras apoyamos alumnos quienes su primer lenguaje incluye:

  • Cebuano
  • Chino
  • Creole
  • Español
  • Hmong
  • Ho-Chunk
  • Polaco
  • Ruso
  • Tagalo
  • Vietnamita

Bilingual-Bicultural Spanish/English Program

In addition to our ESL program, the School District of Reedsburg offers a Bilingual-Bicultural Spanish/English Program located at Westside Elementary School. The purpose of this program varies slightly from the ESL Program, as its focus includes supporting Spanish speakers in becoming literate in their native language as well as transitioning to literacy in English. Instruction in this program helps students transition from being instructed 90 percent of the time in Spanish and 10 percent in English, to receiving the majority of their instruction in English, with minimal support in Spanish. Research verifies that developing a child’s capacity for literacy in their first language helps them transition more efficiently and proficiently to literacy in their second language.

For more information on the ESL and Bilingual-Bicultural programs, please contact our program staff:

Programa Bilingüe/Bicultural Español/Inglés

En adición a nuestro programa ESL (Inglés como segundo idioma), el Distrito Escolar de Reedsburg ofrece el Programa Bilingüe-Bicultural Español/Inglés localizado en la Escuela Elementaria Westside. El propósito de este programa varía ligeramente del Programa ESL, ya que su enfoque incluye alfabetizar a los de habla hispana en su lenguaje nativo mientras transicionan en la alfabetización del idioma inglés. La instrucción en este programa ayuda a los alumnos a pasar de una instrucción del 90 por ciento del tiempo en español y un 10 por ciento en inglés, a recibir la mayoría de la instrucción en inglés, con un mínimo de apoyo en español.

Estudios demuestran que el desarrollar la capacidad del niño(a) en la alfabetización en su primer lenguaje ayuda a una transmisión más eficiente y proficiente en la alfabetización en su segundo idioma.
