Abstract
AbstractThe purpose of the present paper is to introduce the Teachers’ Choices Cognate Database. English‐Spanish cognates are words that are orthographically and semantically identical or nearly identical in both English and Spanish. To create this free online database, the cognates from every one of the 146 International Reading Association's Teachers’ Choices books for the years, 1998‐2012, were compiled and published at www.angelfire.com/ill/monte/teacherschoices.html.The cognates in the database may be used to create vocabulary lessons or mini‐lessons to accompany book read‐alouds for Latino English Language Learners (ELLs) in the early primary grades. Ideas for teaching English‐Spanish cognates through picture book read‐alouds are presented and discussed.
