English Language Learners & Libraries by Anastasia Hanneken https://padlet.com/ahanneken3/tpbpeizg20on Please comment on how ELL impact your library program, and exciting things you are doing with ELL en-us 2018-02-11 20:20:18 UTC 2018-02-12 02:32:55 UTC hello@padlet.com I used Sara Stevenson's article in KnowledgeQuest (9/12/2017) to support offering graphic novels to our middle school ESL students. We also use audiobooks as readalong support. I do a lot of cheerleading and encouraging, too :) https://padlet.com/ahanneken3/tpbpeizg20on/wish/230411323 2018-02-11 20:43:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ahanneken3/tpbpeizg20on/wish/230411323 Weekly read aloud, in English, to grades K-2 and classroom support in grades 3-5. Classroom supports includes pulling relevant books for curriculum, scheduled times in the library for lessons dealing with English Language Arts, additional library times for exploring databases, as well as collecting e-books and book sets for the classroom's small reading groups. These offerings are selected based on students levels of language acquisition. I also have after school book clubs and activities. Our school is Title 1, 92%+ bilingual ESL/ELL. https://padlet.com/ahanneken3/tpbpeizg20on/wish/230412422 2018-02-11 20:53:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ahanneken3/tpbpeizg20on/wish/230412422 Connecting home language literacies https://padlet.com/ahanneken3/tpbpeizg20on/wish/230427018 I have books available in Spanish, Hmong, and Somali, roughly proportional to the population we serve. The kids can read in their home languages with family members and in their Spanish bilingual classes. One of the coolest things I have seen is non-Somali students checking out the Somali Board books and dictionaries, then sitting side-by-side with their newcomer Somali classmates, sharing vocabulary in both languages. At a parent meeting, the Somali parents were impressed and felt so appreciative that we considered their language important enough to include in our collection. The kids are taking the books home to teach their parents to read. ]]> 2018-02-11 22:50:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ahanneken3/tpbpeizg20on/wish/230427018 Dual Language eBooks/print books listerh286 https://padlet.com/ahanneken3/tpbpeizg20on/wish/230445652 2018-02-12 01:29:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ahanneken3/tpbpeizg20on/wish/230445652 MackinVIA change language option listerh286 https://padlet.com/ahanneken3/tpbpeizg20on/wish/230445786 While you can't change the language of a specific book unless you purchased that specific version, you can change the entire reader into Spanish and it will remember the students selection each time they return to VIA]]> 2018-02-12 01:30:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ahanneken3/tpbpeizg20on/wish/230445786 Collection development with student input https://padlet.com/ahanneken3/tpbpeizg20on/wish/230453914 We have a large Spanish-speaking population, and and when I started, only 3 books in Spanish! I've used surveys to learn student interests and slowly built up the collection to about 150 books now. Having the ELs involved gave them ownership of the library. ]]> 2018-02-12 02:29:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ahanneken3/tpbpeizg20on/wish/230453914 Presented on this a number of times https://padlet.com/ahanneken3/tpbpeizg20on/wish/230454162 Feel free to email me for my presentation link! Way too much to type out, but I've partnered with our teachers of ELs to really make them a firm part of the library. Love our ELs. (bmcbride at fenwayhs dot org)
