'The book makes a contribution to the education of English language
learners. It provides practical instructional suggestions for
teachers of both ELLs and SELs that are informed by a deep
understanding of theories of second language and second dialect
acquisition and the development of reading and writing
proficiencies'-Guadalupe Valdes, Professor of Education, Stanford
University 'The concepts of gaps and bridges are clearly
articulated up front and provide a well-structured theme that
unites the various parts of the text. The use of this structure
provides a logical and coherent mechanism for providing a complete
picture of the problem-the literacy gap between ELs and native
speakers-and a means for addressing this problem'-Kristina Anstrom,
Senior Research Scientist, The George Washington University Center
for Equity and Excellence in Education Build bridges of support so
English language learners can learn alongside their peers! English
language learners (ELLs) and standard English learners (SELs) face
multiple gaps as they strive to achieve, so educators need to take
a holistic, comprehensive approach to bridge those gaps and meet
the needs of ELLs and SELs in the classroom. Based on an original,
well-researched framework, this much-needed resource provides
practical strategies for supporting learning and success for ELLs.
The authors provide strategies, examples, and classroom tools to
address: - The gap between students and texts: covering word
recognition, background knowledge, comprehension, and academic
language development - The gap between students and teachers:
including socio-cultural differences between teachers and students,
and teacher perceptions and expectations - The gap between students
and their peers: discussing language proficiency differences,
grouping strategies, and grade-level and schoolwide programmes The
Literacy Gaps helps educators give ELLs the skills they need to
close the most important gap of all: the achievement gap.
