Synopsis

In this essential book from ELL-expert Paul Boyd-Batstone, you’ll find out how to teach reading while keeping in mind the unique needs of English language learners. You’ll learn best practices and differentiated strategies for each domain of the Common Core Foundational Reading Skills, including print concepts, phonological awareness, phonics and word recognition, and fluency.

Topics covered include:

  • Ideas for using contextual support to help ELLs climb the staircase of complexity;

  • Strategies for teaching phonological awareness, including distinguishing vowel sounds and blending sounds;

  • Ways to teach phonics and word recognition using informational and literary texts; and

  • Exemplary ideas for teaching fluency, such as through poetry, drama, and digital media.

The book is filled with ready-to-use activities and complete lesson plans that address selected CCSS performance tasks at each grade level.
