ESL Corner Tip #4
Top Five Tips for Supporting English Learners in a Reading Workshop
Focus on Content and Language Instruction: Balancing Both
When designing a lesson, both the content and language objectives are needed to engage a student. Use their prior or background knowledge to further develop their language learning.
Things we do: Make the content and language objectives explicit. Other suggestions: use modifying speech, use contextual clues, have multisensory experiences, use comprehensible input, frequent comprehension checks, and use developmentally appropriate lessons for English learners
Happy birthday!

Denise G
Denise has such a big job keeping it all million bits of behind-the-scenes minutia running smoothly for TELPAS, STAAR (and others, I am sure!)…and she does it without whining, complaining, or fainting!
Heather
All of third grade would like to thank Heather Cain for all her hard work and organizational skills on Read Across America Day.
She really worked hard to make Dr. Seuss day fun and special for everyone in third!
Sarah H
To Sarah’s 20,000 steps attained during Picture Day on Tuesday!
Denise G, again!
She goes above and beyond, always offering to help in any situation.
