Foundational Literacy Skills for Multilingual-English Learner Students
How can we support the development of foundational literacy skills for our diverse multilingual-English learner students while uplifting their primary linguistic skills?
Adapting instructional practices to meet the unique needs and characteristics of multilingual-English learners (ML-ELs) is essential. This three-session series will focus on strategies to support phonological/phonemic awareness and phonics paired with oral language. Aligned with Principle 2 of the English Learner Roadmap, participants will learn to identify and address ML-EL students' strengths and unique needs in foundational literacy, recognize opportunities for cross-linguistic transfer and oral language development, and implement effective instructional practices. Attendees will receive a hard copy of the book Literacy Foundations for English Learners by Dr. Elsa Cárdenas-Hagan.
