  • English-speaking children enter Kindergarten with an average of around 1,000
  • For ELLs who first start learning English in later years of schooling, the gap between them and their age peers is even greater and the support they need more intensive.
  • In order to catch up to their age peers, ELLs will have to double or triple their rate of vocabulary acquisition.

  •  Over the years, researchers have found that there is a strong correlation between vocabulary knowledge and academic performance
  • If a student has Knowledge of grammatical patterns and common word-forms it can reduce the “learning burden” that ELLs face considerably
  • There is an assumed understanding that ELLs understand the most-high frequency words - girl, boy, little, big etc. 
  • To help ELLs catch up to their age groups, the school needs a "coordinated school-wide approach, keeping in mind that in a balanced literacy program, both direct and indirect approaches are key" (World of Words)
