Using #GAFE extensions like Speak It or Read&Write for Google Chrome. Record using We Video or Screencastify. #ELLChat

A5) How do you adapt activities to develop fluency to the needs of ELLs? #ELLCHAT

FloradTeach Jan 9 @ 9:48 PM EST

Just like decoding, one can decode but doesn't mean there is comprehension, same with fluency #ellchat

A4 Shanahan & Lonigan said it's critical for children to develop literacy via conversations Not just drills https://t.co/0qWCKX3UDk #ELLCHAT

A5: Adjust activities to meet needs of students, keep material relevant, and never assume students are incapable! #ELLChat #ElonEd

A7: play the blah game to teach the importance of vocabulary and comprehension. Discuss expectations for reading aloud. #ELLChat

Q7) How do you work with gen ed teachers to explain the needs of ELLs when learning fluency & expression? #ELLCHAT

A3) This is a wonderful idea. I think that pets will lower the affective filter of ELLs. #ELLCHAT

A7 You ask how to help gen ed tchrs meet needs of ELs for fluency & expression, but they may be off track for Eng speakers too! #ELLCHAT

HSeslteacher Jan 9 @ 9:51 PM EST

A7: Have to address differing expectations & explain why to gen ed teachers #ELLChat

A4) Not realistic to expectELs to meet the same exact fluency benchmarks as Eng speakers. (Graves, Gersten, and Haagar, 2004) #ELLChat

A7 My least favorite “fluency” activity: they send home rings or cards w/ sight words and ask parents to drill K kids before bed #ELLCHAT

A7: I encourage teachers to remain patient. Students need to practice certain skills in order to improve, even if they seem basic #ellchat

A7) Stop the nonsense words. Learning a new language is challenging enough. #ellchat

A5 Good book introductions that go over unfamiliar words and language structures go a long way in helping to build fluency. #ELLCHAT

A5 Guided reading (homogeneous) grps with leveled books work best to target my first grade Ss needs. I aim to do this twice a week #ELLCHAT

A7: focus on how they need to improve, making expectations clear to the students so they know how to improve #eloned #ellchat

A5 and A7 El Ss do need to practice reading out loud but it needs to connect with what they are learning in class. #ELLchat
