Teaching Reading in Multilingual Classrooms
Understand and address the needs of nonnative speakers.Teachers are expected to teach reading and raise standardized-test scores. Add in meeting the needs of struggling, nonnative speakers, and teachers need proven, effective strategies to make it all come together. Teaching Reading in Multilingual Classrooms gives them the practical instructional practices they need to teach every student well, and the research and theory to understand both their students' needs and their own role in addressing them.
Through lively activities, discussion, and vignettes carefully chosen by the Freemans, teachers will investigate how students learn to read in their native and second languages, unlock motivation and enthusiasm through engagement with carefully selected texts, learn four skills-based strategies to develop ELLs' reading, and discover assessment techniques for emergent readers' skills.
