About the Authors
These lessons and strategies are scaffolded, easy to follow and provide differentiated instruction that carefully considers the needs of the Limited English Proficient. The activities maintain engagement, promote collaboration with peers, and the language sentence frames help my LEP students flourish with confidence as they learn English. The variety of graphic organizers presented allow each learner to engage with words in meaningful ways.
