Words Came Down! English Language Learners Read, Write, and Talk Across the Curriculum, K-2 9781571104144
Lucky us! In this inspiring and thoughtful book, Emelie and Tess take us inside their reading, writing, and content-area workshops where we see (and hear!) how young English language learners thrive in rigorous, joyful learning communities. Here's proof that our deliberate use of languagewhat we say and how we say itquickly becomes what they say and how they say it. Happy Reading!""Debbie Miller, author of Reading with Meaning As teachers everywhere find more and more students with limited English in their classes, many are asking: How can I include ELL students in every aspect of the day? Beginning with designing a classroom that welcomes students and creates appropriate conditions for learning, Emelie Parker and Tess Pardini go on to detail a workshop format for reading, writing and content-area studies.The workshop structure allows teachers to differentiate instruction to include all students, and affords students ample opportunities to collaborate with others as they learn to speak, read, write, and comprehend while also engaging in active learning of the curriculum. The authors provide numerous examples of ways that teachers can become proficient in knowing each child and orchestrating instruction to meet individual needs.Throughout The Words Came Down! oral language is emphasized in a continuum from teacher modeling and demonstration to situations in which student-to-student communication is essential. The authors show that when children's attempts at communicating are accepted and celebrated, they will learn to communicate with each other comfortably and spontaneously whether on the playground or working on a science experiment.In addition, this helpful guide offers a variety of approaches to assessment, and demonstrates the importance of engaging families as partners in learning English and content.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------ContentsAcknowledgmentsFoundationsChapter 1: Our SchoolChapter 2: Building CommunityChapter 3: Workshop: The Architecture That Supports English Language LearnersWorkshopsChapter 4: Writing WorkshopChapter 5: Reading WorkshopChapter 6: Social Studies WorkshopChapter 7: Math WorkshopChapter 8: Science WorkshopReferences--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Reviews--------------------------------------------------------------------------------About the AuthorsEmelie Parker and Tess Pardini are both National Board Certified Teachers, working at Bailey's Elementary School in Fairfax County, Virginia.
