Reading Instruction in Grades 4-12

For English language learners (ELLs) in upper grades, reading needs may vary greatly.  Some students will read fluently in their native language, while others may come in with very limited literacy skills and will require creative approaches for teachers and literacy coaches.  These resources include ideas for creating a safe, comfortable setting where adolescent ELLs can begin to catch up and increase confidence over time.
