| Response to Intervention for ELLs | |
The Response to Intervention model has been shown to be effective for ELLs struggling with reading, whether conducted in Spanish or English [Linan-Thompson et al., 2006]. But it poses many issues for the already-burdened classroom teacher. How does a teacher who does not speak the student's language properly assess skills? How does she make instruction understandable for her ELLs? How does she effectively coordinate RTI with English language instruction? What teaching techniques have been proven to be especially useful in reading intervention for ELLs? Check out the links below to find out what works, and to get tips and techniques for working with your own ELLs. | |

The only man who behaved sensibly was my tailor; he took my measurement anew every time he saw me, while all the rest went on with their old measurements and expected them to fit me.
