Accommodating differences among English language learners

Realizing that a variety of grouping arrangements are needed to support differentiated instruction, this book contains lessons that can be introduced to the entire class, with small-group extension lessons provided for beginning-, intermediate-, or advanced-language level students. These extensions are designed to answer the question of what to do with the other students while you're working with a small group of students with similar strengths or needs. This valuable resource is packed with research-based lesson plans that help K-8 English language learners develop their speaking, reading, and writing skills. With whole-class activities and focused small-group extensions, each lesson can be easily adapted to meet the needs of beginning, intermediate, and advanced language learners. Step-by-step instructions, classroom scenarios, and independent practice activities are included for each lesson. - Publisher.
