Nashville considering Mandarin immersion

NASELLE — Instead of “Dick and Jane” and “See Spot Run,” the morning curriculum at Naselle for kindergartners next fall will be entirely in Mandarin Chinese if a proposal to include an immersion language curriculum is passed by the Naselle-Grays River Valley School Board at their June 19 meeting.

The district is considering implementation of dual-immersion education to kindergarten students whose parents choose to participate in the Mandarin Chinese program next year. If adopted by the school board, the program will be taught by a teacher from China and the students who voluntarily enroll will speak nothing but that language exclusively during their morning classes next fall.
