Program at a Glance
The Klein ISD Spanish/English Dual Language Program is a biliteracy program that brings Spanish speakers and English speakers together for shared literacy and language development in the core areas of Math, Reading, Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies. Beginning in Kindergarten and continuing through Fifth Grade, core subjects are taught 50% in Spanish and 50% in English. The goal of the Dual Language program is to help students become bilingual, biliterate, and culturally aware while promoting high academic achievement.
Highlights
The program promotes a new appreciation for other cultures and languages while helping students develop high academic levels in a new language without sacrificing achievement in their native language. Students gain stronger writing, comprehension, and problem-solving skills, and the program supports cognitive development in creativity, divergent thinking, and higher-order thinking. When program criteria are met, students are eligible to receive high school credit for Spanish 1 at the end of 5th grade, continuing a clear pathway to advanced Spanish courses and recognition such as the Texas Seal of Biliteracy.
Benefits & Educational Outcomes
Students who participate in the Dual Language program from Kindergarten or 1st through 5th grade and who meet state-established criteria take a Spanish language assessment at the end of elementary school. This assessment evaluates language proficiency and academic Spanish development. Throughout the program, students’ progress is monitored in both English and Spanish to ensure they are on track toward biliteracy and future eligibility for high school Spanish credit. The program supports strong grade-level achievement while preparing students for success in higher education and a global society through bilingual academic skills and sociocultural awareness.
