SEL PROGRAM

Bilingual Literacy +
Social-Emotional Learning

Selected literacy experiences can create teacher-facilitated opportunities for learners to name emotions, communicate ideas, consider perspectives, build relationships, and discuss choices. These opportunities connect with the social-emotional competency areas described in CASEL’s framework.

CASEL Framework Connection

• Self-Awareness
• Self-Management
• Social Awareness
• Relationship Skills
• Responsible Decision-Making
The Ahvian The Creative™ Bilingual Literacy Program is an independent educational pathway grounded in social-emotional learning practices and inspired by the competency areas in CASEL’s framework.

CASEL is a referenced framework; Ahvian The Creative™ is independently developed.

IMPLEMENTATION

From Framework to Classroom

Educators can adapt the pathway to learners’ strengths and needs, local curriculum, language-allocation model, instructional goals, and classroom or community context.

READ

Introduce a story, key vocabulary, and opportunities for learners to notice language.

EXPLORE

Investigate words, concepts, images, questions, and meaningful English–Spanish connections.

CREATE

Write, draw, color, cut, build, speak, or otherwise respond to ideas and language.

PLAY

Use games, cards, puppets, movement, and manipulatives for active language practice.

CONNECT

Connect learning to feelings, culture, family knowledge, lived experience, and real-world contexts.

Ahvian resources are intended to complement—not replace—locally adopted curriculum, teacher judgment, or required bilingual education, dual-language, Home Language Arts, and ENL services.

THE AHVIAN APPROACH

Bilingual Literacy Is More Than Learning Two Languages.

Language becomes more meaningful when learners encounter it in stories, use it in conversation, create with it, explore it through play, and connect it to their lived experiences, cultures, emotions, and the world around them.

The Ahvian The Creative™ Bilingual Literacy Program brings these experiences together through a connected learning pathway that values learners’ existing languages and knowledge as strengths.
