Our @MAS_OCDE team🎉🎉

With nearly 40% of California students coming from homes where a language other than English is spoken (https://t.co/DOgPXpMl8D) MAS units are vital to the success of English Learners across the state. 💛📚

DM us for resources and more information! 🙌

Phonics is just one aspect of literacy instruction that can help students learn to read. #EnglishLearners need a comprehensive approach.
