 Navajo is the primary language spoken by the majority of people in this area and children were not doing well due to low English proficiency, which in turn resulted in low reading and math scores.In the late 1960s and early 1970s there was a bilingual-bicultural program created for kindergarten through 6th grade.The classroom time was jointly taught in English and Navajo with a heavier dependence on Navajo in the earlier years.
