This hands-on volume is:
  • Unique: Demonstrates how to build ELLs' literacy skills and content knowledge simultaneously.
  • Effective: Research-supported strategies align with both TESOL and Common Core Standards.
  • Practical: More than two dozen worksheets for classroom use are presented in a large, easy-to-reproduce format.
