We are excited to share some great new resources with you in this edition of the T.ELL.E-GRAM, including the full video interview with author and illustrator Lulu Delacre, parent tip sheets for parent-teacher conferences, and an in-depth article about reading instruction for ELLs. Now that the school year is in full swing, take a look at our newest resources! These include ELL strategies for mainstream teachers and school librarians. Please share these articles with your colleagues and district leaders. This newsletter is all about heading back to school, from professional development, to how to create a welcoming classroom environment. This newsletter is all about summer reading, including a special booklist tribute to dads. This month we are focusing on assessment and English language learners. Be sure to check out all of the great resources listed in the newsletter, as well as our updated Assessment and Placement section! April highlights include a bilingual poetry booklist and 2 articles about using poetry in the English language learner classroom. Spring has finally arrived! It's the perfect time to get outside and do some hands-on activities with students, and so we are very excited this month to be featuring a variety of resources related to content-area instruction for ELLs. For those of you tracking the stimulus package and its impact on education, don't miss Education Week's new section on the stimulus with in-depth coverage of the legislation. Strong technology skills are a must for students in today's classrooms, and English language learners are no exception. One of the most important gifts parents can give their children is their time and love. A great way to do this is through sharing books and stories together, and Colorín Colorado offers a number of ideas to help parents get started! College application season is upon us, and so we thought we'd take a look this month at how ELL educators can support their students through the process.
