Reading is all about understanding. Many English language learners
simply do not understand what they are reading, whether it's a
picture book, a literature selection, or a science textbook. Juli
Kendall and Outey Khuon believe that small group comprehension
lessons have a key role to play in advancing students'
understanding of texts."Making Sense" provides answers to many
common questions asked by teachers of English language learners:
How do we organize small-group comprehension instruction? How do we
select books to teach strategies? How do we know our kids are
getting it--and what do we do when they don't get it? It is an
easy-to-use, practical resource for ELD, ESL, and ESOL pull-out
teachers, and for push-in teachers working "in-class" to support
English language learners.The book's five main sections are geared
to the stages of language proficiency, and lessons are divided into
'younger' and 'older' students, spanning kindergarten through grade
8. The authors outline fifty-two lessons that teach students how to
make connections, ask questions, visualize (make mental images),
infer, determine importance, and synthesize. Each lesson follows a
four-part teaching framework: Start Up/Connection--helping students
build background and use prior knowledge to connect to the
lesson;Give Information--explicitly telling students what they are
going to learn and why they are learning it, and then teaching
them;Active Involvement--often occurs during the teaching as
students practice what they are learning while the teacher checks
for understanding and monitors and adjusts instruction;Off-You-Go
--opportunities for students to practice what they learned with
peers or independently."Making Sense" also explores the stages of
language proficiency through descriptions of ten English language
learners of different ages. A chart of student characteristics for
each stage shows how students demonstrate understanding and
outlines the implications for planning instruction. This book will
appeal to experienced teachers seeking to expand their repertoire
of lessons, as well as new teachers just beginning the adventure of
teaching comprehension to English language learners.
