Description

This hands-on guide shows elementary school teachers how to create multilingual classroom communities that support every learner's success in reading, writing, and general literacy development.

The author provides a practical overview of key ideas and techniques and describes specific literacy activities that lead to vocabulary and oral English proficiency.

Instructional chapters will help teachers create a language-rich classroom environment, scaffold reading and writing tasks to match students needs, and use students language backgrounds as a bridge to literacy learning in English.

As with all titles in The Practitioner s Bookshelf Series, this resource includes many user-friendly features such as bulleted summaries and checklists as well as photographs of linguistically diverse classrooms modelling the types of instructional interactions described in the book.
