Description
Teaching Reading to English Language Learners: Differentiating Literacies, 1/e This practical, research-based book blends theory and practice to provide grade-level and ESL teachers with the tools they need to differentiate literacy instruction for ELL students. KEY TOPICS: Organized around the major findings from the National Reading Report, the book addresses a critical national need for teachers to have new and better information on how to address the literacy needs of English language learners. The authors address the need to move the field beyond the current one size fits all' paradigm toward a broader view of how to create meaningful and relevant literacy programs. They stress meaning and relevance as the basis for all instructional activities and strategies: if meaning is at the center, it is not necessary to delay literacy instruction in English while students are learning to understand and speak English. The chapters in the book detail a concrete and specific way how literacy instruction can be--and needs to be--truly modified for ELLs.
