Productive day working with @AbbotsfordSD teachers on implementing small, actionable shifts in our teaching practices. When used consistently, these minor adjustments can lead to significant improvements in student success! #SmallMovesBigGains

Excited to co-present and work with language teachers at @BCATML “ Celebrating Languages” this Friday!

Students who are reading in a language they are still learning may benefit from additional scaffolding to support comprehension. 1. Chunk — Divide the reading into manageable portions. 2. Stop for discussion — Give students frequent opportunities to discuss the reading with their peers. 3. Pause for drawing — Have students do something with the reading such as draw or act out a scene. 4. Read together — Pair students to read with a buddy, read together as a class, or have the class echo read. 5. Use L1 — Leverage students” full linguistic resources including their first language.
