KatelynBassett https://padlet.com/jbautista132_1/qn6vj514r8vkkykz/wish/2067739491 If students can talk to each other (read-aloud, paraphrasing, etc.), highlight the text, or even think out loud while reading non-fictional/fictional texts, they will be much better prepared for actually learning the content.]]> 2022-02-26 20:40:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jbautista132_1/qn6vj514r8vkkykz/wish/2067739491 Maria Aguilar https://padlet.com/jbautista132_1/qn6vj514r8vkkykz/wish/2067804409 2022-02-26 23:25:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jbautista132_1/qn6vj514r8vkkykz/wish/2067804409 mbirmley https://padlet.com/jbautista132_1/qn6vj514r8vkkykz/wish/2067910447 Teachers need to provide "steps" to help ELLs connect and understand/comprehend how to read expository and non fiction texts.
  1. explicit instruction on how expository text is structured.
  2. models of "what good readers do" to get information from expository text.
  3. opportunities for practice so that ELLs can identify and interact with the text
  4. opportunities for peer interaction with the content of the text in order to increase comprehension.

Paired reading can support native and non native English speakers by intentionally pairing fluent readers with students who may need the addition help. Fluent readers can model good reading and assist their classmates by having discussions about what they read together. ]]> 2022-02-28 02:13:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jbautista132_1/qn6vj514r8vkkykz/wish/2068682585 Vanessa Guevara https://padlet.com/jbautista132_1/qn6vj514r8vkkykz/wish/2104426525 I would use the highlighting option that is introduced in this article. This would help ELLs identify certain areas where they struggle and it would also assist the teacher in identifying any barriers the ELL student may have. Using certain highlight colors for certain areas helps students breakdown the text. 

The graphic above is an example of ways to use highlighting to assist students in reading the text. ]]> 2022-03-21 03:09:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jbautista132_1/qn6vj514r8vkkykz/wish/2104426525
