#ELLChat A3 I look at our math content over the course of the yr and see what terms are more Ess. to the learning of the content.

MsSalvac Jan 30 @ 9:22 PM EST

A3) For specific text, I like "scanning." U scan from bottom up, so as not 2 read text. You look 4 words that may be difficult. #ELLCHAT

A3 I usually pick mostly tier 2 words or at least a mixture. 1 - T1; 3 - T2 & 2 T3 #ELLCHAT

A3 For preK-K it’s best for teacher NOT to walk in with a list of words - but more like a menu to choose from depending on child #ELLCHAT
