This course is intended to offer EB students instruction in
comprehension strategies, word recognition, vocabulary development, and fluency. Students are
given the opportunity to read critically, support inferences, evaluate resources, respond to
text in writing, and do research in a variety of genres.
Writer’s workshop works in conjunction with reader’s workshop
to advance the linguistic and academic progression of EBs. Reading strategies are applied to
instructional-level and independent-level texts that cross the content areas. Students learn
how various texts are organized and how authors choose language for effect.
Content-Based Language Instruction is applied to address the
varying linguistic levels of Emergent Bilinguals.
