Previewing content is an important step in scaffolding new content for ELLs. One way to do this is through a "chapter walk" - not only does it prepare students for what they are about to learn, it gives them the tools for previewing content independently in future academic coursework.

Best ELL Podcast

I came across this podcast this past summer and binge listened to the episodes. Each episode is packed with informed information for an ELL teacher or teachers with ELL's. The information is not only helpful but relevant and engaging! I've put many of the strategies I heard from the podcast into practice in my own classroom. I would definitely recommend this podcast to anyone who wants to learn how to support ELL's better!!! ☺️

Great resource!

Teachers are always asking for help and suggestion when having an ELL in their classroom. Beth does a great job of sharing tips to share with classroom teachers so that the children can succeed.

Great resources/support

I have now been in my position as an ELD/Literacy Specialist for just over a year ( 13 months) and had a fabulous training partner ( moved out of state 🙃)- I so appreciate the resources I find both in the podcasts and the Equipping ELLs website-some days I feel like I am barely keeping my head above water ...it is so helpful to know I am not alone!
Thank you so much !!

Most of the resources can be used in KS1 and KS2 but some do lend themselves to the upper age group and above and therefore should be previewed by the teacher first.  The aim is to provide high-quality resources that can be used in stand-alone literacy lessons, can form the basis for a whole Literacy unit or can support literacy units that you already have in place. With the many book-based activities I would advocate using the book alongside the digital resource.
