We understand how important it is for your child to feel confident and supported in their learning journey. One of the key tools we use in our classrooms to help students connect what they already know with new content is a bilingual glossary. These glossaries are essential for helping students transition from their first language (L1) to the new language they are learning (L2).
By incorporating bilingual glossaries into daily lessons, students can build a bridge between their previous knowledge and new concepts, making learning more effective and meaningful. In addition to classroom use, it is important to know that in Florida, active MLs will be able to use these glossaries during their assessments. This means that regular exposure to these resources before exam time is crucial to ensure your child is comfortable and ready. (Note: Always refer to the district and state assessment guidelines on the type of glossaries allowed.)
We encourage you to support your child by familiarizing them with their bilingual glossary and reminding them to use it regularly as part of their learning process. Thank you for your continued partnership in helping your child succeed!
