My ELL students are reading below grade level expectations even with interventions in place. The Evan-Moor skills books and center activities will allow me to provide them developmentally appropriate instruction in my intervention groups. This reduces frustration and increases success! It also improves comprehension which is the ultimate goal. When commonly used words are mastered the students will be able to increase their reading levels. I will teach them to use the pictures and letter/sound connections to figure out unknown words. It is my goal to have ELL students reading on grade level by the time they leave our elementary school. My students also struggle with word problems, so I have requested some daily word problem books at lower levels so they can have success at their reading level. Lastly, my students struggle with re-grouping when adding and subtracting multi-digit numbers. That is why I am requesting money manipulatives of varying place values (pennies are hundredths, dollars are ones, 100 dollars are hundreds, etc.) for solving addition and subtraction problems with re-grouping. ELL students are unfamiliar with many topics in reading books. I will use these books in small groups so I can give these students instruction specifically for them. This will create self-confidence, improve reading, and create a love of reading!
