Inhaltsangabe

A practical, research-based guide, Teaching Reading to English Language Learners gives ESL teachers and grade-level teachers the information and strategies they need to support second language literacy development with their Culturally Linguistically Diverse (CLD) learners, in addition to the program the school already has in place. Throughout, the authors guide teachers to modify literacy instruction to address both the assets and the needs of their English learners. Included are strategies for converting research into practical application; illustrative student samples from multiple grade levels and language backgrounds; teacher insights; a look at the sociocultural, academic, cognitive, and linguistic dimensions of the CLD student biography; and a number of helpful pedagogical aids.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

In the new edition of this widely-used text, ESL teachers and grade-level teachers get practical, research-based information, approaches, and strategies for supporting second language literacy development with their CLD students–and ensuring that children’s languages and cultures are the cornerstones of their literacy development.

• Theory blends with practice to give readers the tools they need to differentiate literacy instruction for all ELL students.
• The information helps teachers support English language literacy development with their students in addition to the program the school has in place.
• The book bridges the gap between theory and practice while addressing the need for current information on how to most effectively approach the literacy needs of English Language Learners.

 

Included are strategies for converting research into practical application; illustrative student samples from multiple grade levels and language backgrounds; teacher insights; a look at the sociocultural, academic, cognitive, and linguistic dimensions of the CLD student biography; and a number of helpful pedagogical aids.
