Do You Want Your Child to Learn to Read, Write, Speak, and Think in Another Language like Spanish, French, or Mandarin?

Come Learn How Dual Language Programs Can Help Your Child’s Achievement. What: Dual Language is an educational program in which students are taught reading and grade level content in two languages. In most Dual Language programs, students spend ½ the day learning in English and ½ the day learning in a non-English language. Examples of schools with dual language programs include Oyster-Adams Bilingual School, Powell Elementary School, Tyler Elementary School, and Cleveland Elementary School Why: Students learn to speak, read, and write in another language. Students’ achievements are at similar levels or higher than those enrolled in monolingual programs. Students gain a global perspective that prepares them for a global world. Refreshments will be served. Children are welcome. Co-sponsored with DC Language Immersion Project and the Ward 7 Education Council
