Michael Optiz and Lindsey Guccione present 25 strategies for oral reading that are designed to help engage ELLs and bolster reading comprehension skills. The activities span five proficiency levels and each activity includes a classroom scenario, recommended children's books, online resources, and special tips. In addition, the authors set the stage with an introduction to the challenges that ELLs and their teachers commonly face during oral reading activities, the ways in which ELLs can benefit from oral reading activities, and some tips for oral language assessment.
