I majored in middle level math/science education and have my masters in Curriculum and Instruction. To make a long story short, I am now in Arequipa, Peru helping to serve as a staff developer to public school teachers in reading. I work as a volunteer to an NGO (cudaperu.org). We are targeting just the third grade this first year as our "pilot program." I have 4 classes that I work with. I am basing all of my meetings with the teachers on Stephanie Harvey and Anne Goudvis's *Strategies That Work*. I spoke with the professor of reading at my university (who introduced me to this book and does staff development seminars all over the state of AR), and he recommended that I buy the Comprehension Toolkit and *The Fluent Reader*.
Everything I do is in Spanish. There are such incredible resources In English, but I am having a hard time finding materials in Spanish. Can any of you direct me to those materials that have already been translated? Remember, I am NOT teaching an ESL class. All of the texts I choose to use need to be culturally appropriate. But I have run across lots of teachers that have made posters for the strategies and done a lot of leg work for staff development. Does anyone know someone or somewhere that I can look to find this stuff already translated? Any information you may have would be helpful. Thanks so much. I just recently joined this group, and I pray that I can get some good advice from you all.
