English language learners struggle to meet the increased classroom writing demands of the Common Core State Standards, and many schools seem at a loss for solutions.
In these pages, ELL expert Ivannia Soto builds on the groundbreaking research she presented in her previous book ELL Shadowing as a Catalyst for Change to show how oral language development scaffolds writing skills. To implement this knowledge, Soto offers educators a powerful set of tools:
* Exciting spoken techniques such as Socratic Seminar, Frayer model and Think-Pair-Share that build vocabulary and extend into academic writing
* Approaches to teaching three essential styles of writing: argumentative, procedural, and narrative
* Sample lesson plans and graphic organizer templates
ELLs must develop oral language skills before meeting the Common Core's writing requirements. This book provides the tools to make this happen.
