Students who are reading in a language they are still learning may benefit from additional scaffolding to support comprehension.
1. Chunk — Divide the reading into manageable portions.
2. Stop for discussion — Give students frequent opportunities to discuss the reading with their peers.
3. Pause for drawing — Have students do something with the reading such as draw or act out a scene.
4. Read together — Pair students to read with a buddy, read together as a class, or have the class echo read.
5. Use L1 — Leverage students” full linguistic resources including their first language.

I've used this discussion framework (created by Shela Linto of The Root Social Justice Center) w/ students for a few years.
It empowers students to speak up when they make a mistake, see harm, or need clarification.
