LB1576 R392
"Research-Based Strategies for English Language Learners addresses standards through four proven, effective scaffolds for learning: modeling, contextualizing, thinking about thinking, and reframing information.  Within each scaffold, Denise Rea and Sandra Mercuri offer ideas for strategy-based instruction that make learning more active, experiential, collaborative, and cognitive for all children.  Rea and Mercuri give you everything you need to use these strategies, including lesson plans and suggestions on implementation, as well as a review of the research supporting each lesson and scaffold.  Finally they tie it all together with lessons on conversational and academic English that give students the linguistic awareness needed to become more proficient in their new language and to succeed in school."

"A must-have resource for any classroom teacher with English learners in the class!

This brief and highly practical resource offers strategies and activities for differentiating early literacy instruction for English language learners.

Paul Boyd-Batstone draws on a wealth of classroom experience working with teachers and students to create a book that gives readers the critical information they need to teach English language learners in an accessible format.  This book is packed with strategies and activities that are directly applicable to the classroom and that focus on meeting the early literacy demands of No Child Left Behind.  Early literacy strategies for English language learners are differentiated according to five levels of language proficiency."

Reading Instruction: For students who are at risk or have disabilities

LB1050.5 B87

"While the first chapter captures the very essence of teaching reading, the rest of the text is an absolute gold mine of additional research based instructional strategies appropriate for the college student, the first year teacher, and the veteran reading teacher."                                        - Pam Matlock, Murray State University

"This exciting new text presents strategies for teaching children who are at-risk, including children with learning and behavioral disabilities, children of poverty, and children who speak English as a second language.  More than just a list, the text integrates scientifically-validated practices into a systematic teaching process that uses data from students in authentic classrooms to guide practice."
