Excited to share the QSSSA strategy I learned from @MsSalvac with Ts tomorrow. A simple strategy to scaffold Ss using new academic language. #Ellchat_BkClub

Here is a QSSSA script to support Ts through the process: https://t.co/4hxYRvaEqL

Yes! Love this side by side comparison and visual reminder of what it feels like to be a language learner (for those of us who don’t know Serbian).

[ηathan oneill @nate_innovate]

Which text would you prefer if you were learning Serbian? @ValentinaESL @MelOlivares3 @ashleigh_nunley Comprehensible input w scaffolding and visuals are key!

Pre-reading activityfor novel study of Home of the Brave by Katherine Applegate, using a quote and idea shared by @MsSalvac in her awesome #BoostingAchievment podcast. We used L1, visuals, and accountable talk to share our thoughts #ELLs #tuesdaymotivation

[Stephanie Heard @MrsHeard_ESL]

So many open tabs, so many great ideas from hard-working, compassionate and informed educators at #NJTESOL EdCamp #ELLs #edcamp #sharingiscaring

[Stephanie Heard @MrsHeard_ESL]

Love these reminders for suggestions for reading with all different grades and levels! Technology can also be used to support read aloud and conversation opportunities with #screencastify or #flipgrid . Any other suggestions out there?

Reading aloud to students is foundational for listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It's critical for #ELs! Here's how to make read alouds more accessible for English learners.

Instead of thinking "My Ss can't read that." Try "How can I support reading?" #SIFE #choralreading #sharedreading #GrowthMindset #leadupchat
