Unlock the magic of cognates and watch your students’ vocabulary—and confidence—expand across languages. In this dynamic bilingual session, we’ll dive into the power of cognates as a bridge that connects English and Spanish, helping learners make sense of academic language, transfer knowledge, and build stronger biliteracy skills.

Participants will explore practical strategies, classroom routines, and engaging activities that turn cognates into everyday instructional tools. From decoding complex texts to boosting oral language and writing, you’ll leave with ready-to-use resources that help students see how languages connect—and how those connections open new worlds of understanding.

Perfect for educators eager to strengthen linguistic transfer, enrich vocabulary instruction, and empower students to leverage both their languages with pride.
