“Dedicated time for English Language Development is necessary for all EL/EB students…” listed as one of the evidence-based ways to support positive literacy outcomes in the recently published joint statement from the Reading League and National Committee for Effective Literacy.

This summer, The Reading League and the National Committee for Effective Literacy finalized a joint statement on English learners / emergent bilinguals and the science of reading. Read the joint statement on our new Compass' EL/EBs page. https://t.co/4h4kXkxUz9

Complex visuals and illustrations are becoming prevalent across children’s media. So teaching students how to interpret modern infographics is an important skill and part of multimodal learning.

Here’s a useful tip to help students improve their writing. ✍️ 🤩

Ask them to read their work aloud. While it may not feel as natural as reading silently, it can help them catch often-overlooked errors, a 2022 study shows.

If you want to improve reading fluency, teach students to write by hand. Research shows a correlation between the two.
