Lexia Core 5 is a computer program that helps elementary students with their basic skills. After the problems for one section are done, they move up a level. The students love moving up levels because they are handed certificates for their achievement upon completing a level. The teachers that I work with take their students to the computer lab for half an hour a day for Lexia training. This benefits ESL and ELL students greatly. Associated with the problems, there are pictures, hints, narrating, and positive reinforcement, and a multi-language option. One of my ELL students loved playing Lexia because he was able to take his time and complete the work on his own pace. He spoke hardly spoke any English, and could not read in English when he came to my school. After weeks and months of playing Lexia, along with other resources, he was able to fully comprehend the English Language. He could speak and write it. ]]> 2017-04-12 00:11:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mike18727/36xvca65binr/wish/165996646 mike18727 https://padlet.com/mike18727/36xvca65binr/wish/165997321 KWL Chart:

A KWL Chart is a chart that ask the students, what they know, what they want to know and what have they learned. In a classroom, this helps the teacher understand where her/his students are before the lesson and after the lesson. For ESL or ELL students this chart can be a very helpful tool to use. For example, if a teacher shows a picture of George Washington, most American children will be able to recognize who that man is. An ELL student may not know who he is. So in the what I know column, the ELL student may wright about how his hair is white, and that he has a red jacket on and that he was from the old times. In the what I want to know column, the student may wright something like " I want to know who this man in a red jacket is." After the lesson, the teacher will have the ELL student fill out the last column, the what I have learned column. The student will be identify the man as George Washington, and as the first President of the United States.]]> 2017-04-12 00:21:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mike18727/36xvca65binr/wish/165997321
