I have a child in my class this year that spoke no English at the beginning of the year. I purchased this book, read it, and adapted
my instruction accordingly. This child is now speaking, writing, and
reading English. She has also gone from being very shy and withdrawn
to being very outgoing and happy. I am constantly referring back to
this wonderful book. Thanks!!!

I thought this book was very good for classroom teachers who want clear information on how to include English Language Learners in their classrooms. It is very difficult to explain to classroom teachers how to include students who are learning English in short sound bites. This book helps clarify information and teachers can read it at their leisure.
I personally don’t like the term English Language Learners because it denies the fact that the students have their own languages and those languages shouldn’t be ignored. In fact, using the student’s native language helps students learn English.
