Many English language learners (ELLs) require extra support to become
successful writers. This book helps teachers understand the unique needs
of ELLs and promote their achievement by adapting the effective
instructional methods teachers already know. Engaging and accessible,
the book features standards-based lesson planning ideas, examples of
student work, and 15 reproducible worksheets, rubrics, and other useful
materials. It describes ways to combine instruction in core skills with
ample opportunities to write and revise in different genres. Invaluable
guidance is provided for assessing ELLs' writing development at
different grade levels and language proficiency levels.
