I urge every teacher who has English learners/MLs in their classroom to read this piece. Let's think deeply about SoR & Multilingual Learners. @AscenziMoreno @TESOL_Assn bit.ly/415SXcs

Happy Wednesday🐪 #JCPSESL & @JCPSKY! Did you know our brains process visuals 60,000X faster than text? Visuals help MLs ⬇️ anxiety, ⬆️ comprehension, & help with decoding. Unlock the power of visuals in your classroom with the @googlechrome extension: Icons for Slides and Docs!

Far too many popular strategies for teaching reading are not actually supported by research. We sifted through to find the ones that are most effective.

Which Reading Strategies to Try, and Which to Ditch

Research shows that some popular activities for reading instruction don't actually result in more fluent readers—so we rounded up the most classroom-worthy ones.

So many education headlines say "Young children need X" or "Children learn best when Z" but they are only talking about monolingual English-speakers. Let's keep asking these 4 key questions to make sure research/resources include all! languagecastle.com/2023/01/1… #earlychildhood #ECE
