1. Video Background and Transcript
Elias has been in a dual immersion program for two years. His parents speak Spanish in the home and he has
a younger sibling. He started the program without expressive English, but he had some receptive English (maybe TV). He is interacting with his teacher as she reads an alphabet book. At one point, he has an opportunity to interact with his friend, Kevin. He is showing awareness that letters have sound. Transcript

We are not assigning a developmental level, but rather saying that this video clip could be evidence for the measures listed in this chart: Measures Reflected by the Evidence: Teacher and Children Reading
