Parents/teachers, want children to read? Let them read what they want. Even comics! Comic books avg 53.5 rare words per thousand, compared with 30.9 rare words per thousand in children's books, and 52.7 in adult books. Learning to read should be enjoyable!
Instead of looking at children as having no English, letโs look at them as having all these languages. Lets focus on their language resources and use them effectively. ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ ๐ซ๐ท ๐ธ๐ด ๐ง๐ฉ #multilingual#superpower
@Newsela Is it accurate that you only sell site wide licenses and don't allow individual teacher licenses? Is there to purchase licenses by amount of teachers or students??

It is CRITICAL that #ELL families get the info in their home languages that they are legally entitled to about the coming school year -- esp when schedules, start dates, & learning models are changing.

I've added a section to the "Back to School with Our Language Learners at a Distance" document on "Addressing Social Emotional Learning." Check out the ideas at: https://t.co/ViEqnfZrlC. Hope you find it helpful as you plan.
Why do we continue to use the term โ foreign languagesโ? They are not foreign to some. Or from outer space. Can we agree that we should call it World Languages? Please, por favor, siโl vous plaรฎt, bitte? ๐
