The State of Arizona is seeking a comprehensive supplemental resource curriculum solution for K-12 Spanish Language Arts to enhance bilingual instruction and assessment. The objective is to obtain materials that support core instruction (Tier 1) as well as academic intervention (Tiers 2 and 3) for K-6 dual language immersion (DLI) programs and are firmly aligned with both world and native language standards. The solution should foster Spanish biliteracy, focusing on essential components such as Spanish phonological awareness, explicit and systematic Spanish phonics instruction (including syllabication and accentuation), and a range of decodable and connected Spanish texts for early reading development.

Additionally, the curriculum must provide resources for reading fluency, vocabulary acquisition, comprehension, and oral language development, emphasizing listening and speaking routines that build academic language in Spanish. Writing instruction should address composition, written expression, and working with sources in Spanish, while also covering grammar, conventions, spelling, orthography, and handwriting appropriate to grade levels. Support for language structures—including morphology and syntax—should help students improve their reading and writing skills, with instructional bridges to facilitate cross-linguistic transfer and metalinguistic awareness between Spanish and English.

Assessment tools for screening, diagnostics, formative evaluations, and progress monitoring in Spanish literacy are required. The curriculum must reflect the breadth and rigor of grade-level ELA literacy instruction (reading, writing, language, speaking, and listening) delivered in Spanish and include authentic, high-quality texts and materials that are culturally and linguistically responsive, rather than mere translations. The initial contract period for this project is one year.
