Attending to Language for ELL and ALL Students

Language is often an assumed curriculum in schools, yet we know that all students are Academic Language Learners (A.L.L.). Students who are English Language Learners (E.L.L.) especially need explicit instruction and support to read complex, grade-level text. However, all students benefit from teacher scaffolds to talk, read, and write using complex academic language. Learn how to support students in elementary classrooms in making complex academic oral language an explicit curriculum that transfers to reading and writing continuous text.

Kelly Luedeke and Jaime Dercks are teachers in the Kaukauna Area School District. Tara is a Reading Specialist and Jaime is a 3rd grade educator. They presented at the 2020 WSRA Conference.
