These sessions connect research-based reading instruction and second language acquisition theory and practice. Through an interactive format, teachers learn about the important and striking differences between teaching reading to native English speakers and teaching reading to ELLs. Using a practical, hands-on approach, teachers then explore reading instruction strategies, focusing on areas of need particular to ELLs.
