Tell-Us-Vision
In Maya & Miguel's lively "Tell-Us-Vision" activity, your child
will explore learning language and literacy in both English and Spanish through fun write-in activities.
Tell-Us-Vision invites your child to share his/her own ideas around a particular theme, such as moving
or making new friends. Your child can write about his/her ideas or experiences through a written email
in English or Spanish. For inspiration, check out Maya and her friends' great ideas. Read other kids'
ideas, too! And, watch a short animated videoclip from a television episode. This activity provides opportunities
to use both English and Spanish language: an exciting option, especially for participants learning a new
or second language!
Playing "Tell-Us-Vision" supports these important learning
objectives:
- to encourage English and Spanish language acquisition
- to provide opportunities to express ideas through written composition in English, Spanish, or other
native language
- to support episode vocabulary
- to communicate through the use of technology
- to improve fine motor skills
- to promote an appreciation of cultural diversity
Extend your child's "Tell-Us-Vision" learning experience by
using these ideas:
- invite your child to help you communicate with family and friends via email
- improve written language skills by helping your child compose friendly letters or kind notes to share
with loved ones, neighbors, etc.
- help your child make connections with show characters by discussing similar like and differences
- establish age-appropriate computer rules for your child to use. Talk to him or her about what's okay
and what's not okay on the Internet. For a fun game about Internet safety and etiquette, check out /pbskids2008//license.
