These glossaries are to provide permitted testing accommodations of ELL/MLL students. They should also be used for instruction during the school year. These glossaries may be downloaded, printed and disseminated to educators, parents and ELLs/MLLs.

Bilingual glossaries are an essential and expected test accommodation for ELLs/MLLs in the State of New York. The languages of these glossaries cover the top 10 languages at the state level, with new languages added based on changing language populations in the NY State student demographic data.

Schools should provide testing accommodations to ELLs/MLLs, as needed, on all NYS ELA and content-area assessments (i.e., Mathematics, Science and Social Studies). Districts/schools must make all necessary arrangements to make these accommodations available for ELLs/MLLs who need them. Please click here for the New York State Office of Bilingual Education and World Languages Webpage on "Assessment and Testing Accommodations".

Diverse books are a vital part of any classroom. This is especially true when there are English Language Learners in the room. Students need access to books that have characters that look like them and come from similar backgrounds to them. They also need to read about places and characters that are different from them. Take a look at these lists of diverse books for ELLs.

Students benefit when the books that teachers use as mentor texts and read alouds are diverse as well. A great goal is to have a diverse selection of books in each category of book you have in your library and each genre you cover during the school year.

If you need help obtaining these books, take a look at my ideas for getting FREE books for your classroom.

Pollito Tito no es alto ni bajo. No es gordo ni flaco. No es inteligente ni tonto. Es un pollito completamente normal.

He is neither tall nor short. He is neither fat nor thin. He is neither smart nor stupid. Pollito Tito is a completely normal chicken.

Una mañana completamente normal, Pollito Tito está desayunando en la cocina. Le gustan las tostadas con mantequilla y el café con crema.

One completely normal morning, Pollito Tito is breakfasting in the kitchen. He likes toast with butter and coffee with cream.

Pollito Tito está tan asustado que se le cae la tostada dentro del café. ¡Plop!
"¡El cielo se está cayendo! ¡EL CIELO SE ESTÁ CAYENDO!", grita Pollito Tito. "¡Tengo que advertirle a todos!"

He is so scared that he drops his toast into his coffee. Plop!
"The sky is falling! THE SKY IS FALLING!" shouts Pollito Tito. "I have to warn everyone!"

La primera persona que se encuentra en la calle es la Gallina Martina. Ella está volviendo del supermercado.

The first person he meets on the road is Gallina Martina. ("gallina" = hen) She is coming from the supermarket.

"¿En serio? ¿Cómo lo sabes?" dice la Gallina Martina.
"¡Lo vi en internet!" dice Pollito Tito.
"¡Dios mío! ¡ ser cierto!" dice la Gallina Martina. Y Pollito Tito y la Gallina Martina corren por la calle hacia el lago.

"Really? How do you know?" asks Gallina Martina.
"I saw it on the internet!" says Pollito Tito.
"Holy moly! It be true!" says Gallina Martina. And Pollito Tito and Gallina Martina run down the road towards the pond.

Cuando llegan al lago, se encuentran con el pato Renato. Él está bañándose.

When they reach the pond, they meet Pato Renato. ("Pato" = duck) He is having a bath.

"¿De verdad? ¿Cómo lo saben?" pregunta el Pato Renato.
"¡Lo vi en internet!" dice Pollito Tito.
"¡Oh, no! ¡ ser cierto!" dice el pato Renato. Entonces Pollito Tito, la Gallina Martina y el Pato Renato corren por la calle hacia la granja.

"Really? How do you know?" asks Pato Renato.
"I saw it on the internet!" says Chicken Little.
"Oh no! It be true!" says Pato Renato. "Let's go!"
So Pollito Tito, Gallina Martina and Pato Renato run down the road towards the farm.

Cuando llegan a la granja se encuentran con Ignacio el Ganso. Está leyéndole poesía a la Palomita Rita.

When they reach the farm they meet Ignacio el Ganso. (ganso = goose) He is reading poetry to Palomita Rita. (Palomita = pigeon)

"¿En serio? ¿Cómo lo saben?" pregunta la Palomita Rita.
"¡LO VIMOS EN INTERNET!" dicen todos.
"¡Santo cielo! ¡ ser cierto!" dice Ignacio el Ganso. "No hay tiempo para leer poesía ahora. ¡Vamos!"

"Really? How do you know?" asks Palomita Rita.
"WE SAW IT ON THE INTERNET!" they all say.
"Goodness gracious! It must be true!" says Ignacio el Ganso. "There is no time to read poetry now. Let's go!"

En la calle principal se encuentran con el Zorro Berto. Él está sentado en un café, escribiendo en su computadora.

On the main street, they meet Zorro Berto. (Zorro = fox) He is sitting at a cafe, writing on his laptop.

"¿De verdad? ¿Cómo lo saben?" pregunta el zorro.
"LO VIMOS EN INTERNET" gritan todos.
"¡Wow! Bueno, ¡entonces debe ser cierto!" dice el zorro. "Pero no se preocupen, amigos, conozco el lugar perfecto para esconderse. ¡Síganme!"

"Really? How do you know?" asks the fox.
"WE SAW IT ON THE INTERNET" they all shout.
"Wow! Well then it must be true!" says the fox. "But don't worry, friends, I know the perfect place to hide. Follow me!"

El Zorro Berto guía a todos: caminan por el pueblo, cruzan calles, atraviesan el campo y llegan a una colina. Arriba de la colina hay una cueva grande y oscura.

Zorro Berto leads everyone: They walk down the road, across streets, through the field and arrive at a hill. At the top of the hill is a big, dark cave.

"¡Entren! ¡Entren!" dice el Zorro Berto. "¡Hay lugar para todos! Aquí el cielo no caerá sobre nosotros. Estamos a salvo."

"Come in! Come in!" says Zorro Berto. "There is space for everybody! The sky won't fall on us here. We are safe."

Y entonces, Pollito Tito y todos sus amigos siguen uno por uno al zorro dentro de la cueva.

And so, one by one, Pollito Tito and all of his friends follow the fox into the cave.

A la mañana siguiente, la cueva está vacía. Pollito Tito y sus amigos ya no están ahí.

The next morning, the cave is empty. Pollito Tito and his friends are no longer there.

¿A dónde fueron? No lo sabemos exactamente. Pero te diré una cosa: el Zorro Berto está muy feliz. Tiene una panza grande y redonda.

Where did they go? We don't know exactly. But I'll tell you one thing: Zorro Berto is very happy. He has a big, round belly.

"Tontos animales" dice el Zorro Berto. Se sienta debajo de un árbol, agarra su computadora y empieza a escribir otra vez.

"Silly animals," says Zorro Berto. He sits under a tree, gets his computer, and begins to write again.

Words I Use When I Write: Personal Dictionary

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Words I Use When I Write

This personal dictionary provides an initial list of 500 high-frequency sight words, plus plenty of blank lines for new words chosen by the student or teacher. Additional words can be selected from phonics lessons, spelling lists, literature, word walls, or other sources. A section in the back of the book provides pages for color and number words, the names of friends and family members, and othercategories of words.

The process of adding words that are relevant and personally meaningful engages students in learning and remembering. It also facilitates differentiated instruction by enabling each student to add words appropriate for that student. Students then refer to their personal dictionaries when writing, so the words' correct spelling is frequently used and reinforced. And as students expand the collection of words they recognize and spell correctly, they gain confidence and a sense of ownership of our language.

* Alphabetization
* Spelling
* Word recognition
* Vocabulary development
* Dictionary skills

About Words I Use Series: These personal dictionaries provide spelling and writing support for early readers. The format facilitates differentiated instruction by enabling students at different levels to compile meaningful and appropriate words using the same books.

Microsoft Translator helps bridge these communication gaps, supporting accessible classroom learning with live captioning, cross-language understanding, and even multilingual casual conversations to help with student integration.

New York State Identification Test for English Language Learners (NYSITELL)

The purpose of the NYSITELL is to assess the English language level of new students whose home or primary language is other than English. Your child's score on the NYSITELL (Entering, Emerging, Transitioning, Expanding, or Commanding) will determine if he or she is entitled to receive English Language Learner (ELL) services and will determine the level of English language support. The results will also help teachers plan the best program for your child based on his or her strengths and needs in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in English. A guide to this assessment can be found below and has been translated into 22 languages.

The Dolch Sight Words list is the most commonly used set of sight words. Educator Dr. Edward William Dolch developed the list in the 1930s-40s by studying the most frequently occurring words in children's books of that era. The list contains 220 "service words" plus 95 high-frequency nouns. These words comprise 80% of the words you would find in a typical children's book and 50% of the words found in writing for adults. Once a child knows this list of words, it makes reading much easier, because the child can then focus his or her attention on the remaining words.

The Dolch words are commonly divided into groups by grade level, ranging from pre-kindergarten to third grade, with a separate list of nouns. There are a total of 315 Dolch Sight Words.

Faster than a speeding bullet, better at alphabetizing than your librarian, it's YOU! Are you ready to fill in the missing letters of the alphabet to win the race? You are the green alphabetizing superhero. Your goal is to beat the blue superhero. Can you do it?

To play, press start. Then, drag and drop the correct letters of the alphabet into the missing section. When incorrect letters are dropped in, a noise will indicate that the answer is wrong. Students must hurry to win! The game will take you through several levels, with each level requiring greater skill. How many levels can you beat?

This game encourages students to practice their alphabetizing skills. This skill can help students with other tasks such as using a dictionary, index, or encyclopedia. Furthermore, students use memory recall, think with greater flexibility, and gain fluency with the alphabet. If students need a game that isn't quite as high-pressure, try the Alphabetical Order game.

ELL Parent Bill of Rights and Parent Hotline

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
An informed, empowered community of parents, guardians and other persons in parental relation is critical to ensuring that English Language Learners (ELLs) are well served. The New York State Education Department's Office of Bilingual Education and World Languages (OBEWL) has created an English Language Learner Parents' Bill of Rights which summarizes critical rights concerning educational access and programming for ELLs and their parents. These key rights are summarized in an easy to reference one page format and have been translated into thirty-one languages.

The bill also includes information on how parents and students can contact our Parent Hotline or OBEWL if they have questions or concerns. This resource, operated by the New York State Language Regional Bilingual Education Resource Network (RBE-RN) serves as a mechanism for parents of ELLs and persons in parental relation to inquire about their rights and the delivery of services for their children based on state regulations. Via a dedicated website and phone lines, parents can inquire and receive responses in the top ten ELL home languages in NYS. NYSED has printed and distributed bookmarks with full hotline information, translated in the top ten ELL home languages in NYS. PDFs of these bookmarks are available in 13 languages and accessible below:
