Literacy for English Language Learners

This course promotes accelerated literacy and language acquisition for targeted EL students at the secondary level. According to MTSS, this is a Tier III intervention course. The course is designed for adolescent emergent readers who are in the beginning stages of English language acquisition and need to develop reading comprehension, writing, speaking and listening. The course supports students’ movement along a literacy continuum from initial basic language acquisition toward increasing levels of guided and independent transfer in listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
