Complete Academic Language Mastery Series

Your ELLs’ and SELs’ bridge to more rigorous content!

By now it’s a given: if we’re to help our ELLs and SELs access the rigorous demands of today’s content standards, we must explicitly teach the “code” that drives school success: academic language. Look no further for assistance than this much-anticipated series from Ivannia Soto, in which she invites field authorities to share every teacher’s need-to-know strategies on the four essential components of academic language:

• •Jeff Zwiers on conversational discourse in context
• •David and Yvonne Freeman on grammar and syntax in context
• •Margarita Calderon on vocabulary in context
• •Noma LeMoine on culture in context.

Select the book that best matches your immediate needs; each one is designed to stand alone. Better yet, read all four volumes as your start-to-finish instructional plan for closing the achievement gap once and for all.
