Descubriendo la lectura (DLL) Packages
DLL is the Spanish-language version of the widely used Reading Recovery Intervention. Designed for first graders having difficulty learning to read and write, Descubriendo la lectura (DLL) supports classrooms in which the language of literacy instruction is Spanish.
