Description
Effective ways to help ELLs excel
The key to successfully teaching English learners is focusing on literacy. Adapted from the highly successful Differentiated Literacy Strategies for Student Growth and Achievement in Grades K–6, this book provides a wealth of practical literacy strategies tailored for students who have had interrupted formal education or come from newly arrived immigrant populations. Teachers will find an instructional and assessment framework designed to promote these critical competencies:
- Functional literacy in phonics, spelling, and reading
- Content-area literacy for vocabulary, concept attainment, and comprehension
- Technological literacy for information searching, evaluation, and synthesis
- Innovative literacy for creativity, growth, and lifelong learning
