Jacobson et al. (teacher education, San Diego State U.) present 25 lessons to aid teachers in improving the content learning and literacy skills of English language learners in kindergarten through eighth grade. They explain how to foster language, literacy, and content-area growth for students with beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels of language proficiency. Lessons are based on TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) standards and English language arts Common Core Standards and focus on comprehension, pronunciation, fluency, vocabulary, and grammar. They use a gradual release-of-responsibility frame for instruction; explain the research base for each; and present ideas for peer collaboration, differentiation and accommodation, teacher modeling and guiding, and technology connections, as well as worksheets.
