Lee Conmigo is the Spanish version
of Reading Roots. Lee Conmigo is a 90-minute comprehensive
program that targets the needs of beginning readers.
It is a research-based beginning reading program that
has proven its effectiveness in randomized experimental
research. Lee Conmigo also fosters students’ love
of reading by providing rich literature experiences,
extensive oral language development, and thematically-focused
writing instruction. These objectives are embedded in
a fast-paced, engaging, and highly effective instructional
process. Students are assessed and regrouped according
to their reading level every quarter to ensure they
are receiving the most focused instruction.
Second and third grade non-readers
can be regrouped into Lee Conmigo classes. This solution
includes all of the elements needed for ensuring success:
teacher manuals, student materials, initial training
for teachers, intensive onsite and telephone coaching,
and tools for monitoring students’ progress.
Lee Conmigo lessons feature the following parts:
Colorful Cuentos compartidos invite students to use
their developing decoding, fluency, and comprehension
skills. The teacher presents new vocabulary  words,
and then guides students to read the story with their
partners. Students then discuss their comprehension
as they become confident, enthusiastic readers.
A collection of forty-eight books, both fictional and
expository text, are read interactively with students
as part of the Lee Conmigo lessons. Prediction, clarification,
questioning, summarization, and visualization strategies
are modeled and practiced as they relate to the comprehension
of the text structure, meaning, or story elements of
the Leamos juntos books.
Structured Language Links activities, which are based
upon the corresponding Cuentos compartidos and Leamos
juntos story in the lesson, stimulate children’s
oral language and cognitive development as they learn
effective ways to communicate ideas, feelings, and experiences.
Students use higher-level thinking skills as they engage
in authentic discussion.
On the third day of every Lee Conmigo lesson, students
are guided through a writing activity that is related
to the theme of both the Cuento compartido and Leamos
juntos books. Students use the writing process as they
think, speak, and work collaboratively with others.

skills.

Your SFAF Coach builds a partnership with your school
through training sessions, onsite coaching, scheduled
telephone meetings, quarterly progress reports, and
informal telephone support. The professional development
provided by SFAF staff is designed to support school
leaders and teachers as they make substantial changes
in their approach to classroom instruction.
The two-day initial training prepares teachers to implement
Lee Conmigo. The training focuses on:
- Word recognition strategies, fluency,
and comprehension.
- Elements of the lessons that provide
engaging images, routines, and the practice needed
to ensure success for each student.
- Tools for assessing students’
progress and adapting lessons based on assessments
to meet individual and group needs.
- Cooperative learning strategies
that provide the practice and repetition beginning
readers need.
- Support for administrators to monitor
and improve program administration.
- A one-day training for school
leaders in assessment tools and regrouping strategies.
In addition, there is training in program monitoring
and coaching.
Goal-focused achievement planning sets the stage for
success. School leaders and your SFAF Coach develop
specific goals and monitor student progress.
- Every quarter, Lee Conmigo teachers,
schools leaders, and your SFAF Coach review student
progress data.
- Goals and interventions for
the following quarter are planned based on the data.
As the year progresses, you will have a variety of ways
to work with your SFAF Coach to review your progress
and refine your goals. Your school receives:
- An initial telephone meeting two
to three weeks after training to answer questions
and troubleshoot.
- Three onsite support visits over
the year at each school to observe students’
reading in classrooms, meet with teachers and administrators,
review data on student progress, and set new goals.
- Three follow-up telephone meetings
with each school. Telephone meetings are designed
to provide teachers with further training and support
for their implementation of the program. The consultations
will be conducted quarterly to answer teachers’
questions and help program facilitators and principals
with troubleshooting, goal setting, and assessment
issues.
- Unlimited, informal telephone
support for all staff members.
