How to Teach English Language Learners - Effective Strategies from Outstanding Educators, Grades K-6 (Paperback)

This hands-on book offers teachers a much-needed resource that will help maximize learning for English Language Learners (ELLs). "How to Teach English Language Learners" draws on two wide-ranging teacher quality studies and profiles eight educators who have achieved exceptional results with their ELL students. Through highly readable portraits, the authors take readers into these teachers' classrooms, illustrating richly what it is they do differently that yields such great results from English learners. Because most teachers profiled work within a three-tiered Response-to-Intervention framework, the book shows how to implement RTI effectively with ELLs--from providing general reading instruction for the entire classroom to targeted interventions with struggling students. Written by noted ELL educators Diane Haager, Janette K. Klingner, and Terese Aceves, "How to Teach English Language Learners" is filled with inspiring success stories, teaching tips, activities, discussion questions, and reflections from these outstanding teachers.
