A2: Step 1- identify key vocabulary to preteach. #ellchat

judiehaynes - Moderator Nov 14 @ 9:13 PM EST

Do you think doing this would prevent ELLs from building vocabulary? #ELLCHAT

Q3) Good readers ask themselves questions as they read. What kinds of questions do you teach your ELLs to ask during reading #ELLCHAT

MsSalvac Nov 14 @ 9:17 PM EST

I don't. I have seen lower level (high-interest) text be a game changer. They need to feel successful at free voluntary reading. #ellchat

Building on strengths, engaging students in their interest - good teaching and a great plan for all students. #ellchat

A3 Good question about questions. Even 3 year olds can think of questions about reading - teachers should model interesting Qs #ELLCHAT

Q3) Good readers ask themselves questions as they read. What kinds of questions do you teach your ELLs to ask during reading #ELLCHAT

stephwurking Nov 14 @ 9:21 PM EST

A3: What is the message between the lines? What interest does the author have in saying X or Y? #ellchat

judiehaynes - Moderator Nov 14 @ 9:23 PM EST

A3) Have students write down questions in notebook and mark if they were answered during reading. #ELLCHAT

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Nov 14 @ 9:23 PM EST

A3 Very young DLLs/ELLs can always ask What would I do if I was in this story? or Did I ever do something like this? #ELLCHAT

MsSalvac Nov 14 @ 9:23 PM EST

A3) "Do I understand what I just read?" "Should I re-read?" #ellchat

HSeslteacher Nov 14 @ 9:23 PM EST

A3: Did I understand what I read? is a big question when reading. If not, where did comprehension break down. #ELLchat

MsSalvac Nov 14 @ 9:24 PM EST

Yep! You beat me to the punch. #ellchat

Would it be followed by modeling the same Qs in L2? Sounds like good idea. #ellchat

In reply to @judiehaynes

@judiehaynes Modeling questions is a great idea for all ages and really important for young DLLs! #ELLCHAT #Iowaclc16

In reply to @SharonJKGlenn

SharonJKGlenn Nov 14 @ 9:29 PM EST

I like the question "Is this important" because can help them to differentiate main idea from details. #ellchat

In reply to @judiehaynes

MsSalvac Nov 14 @ 9:29 PM EST

I love this idea. Slippery slope for me- need to monitor myself for how much native language I use. Powerful if used strategically. #ellChat

A3 in my @Iowaclc16 session today we talked about learning to ask key, simple questions in children’s L1 and bridge to L2 #ellchat

ESL_education Nov 14 @ 9:31 PM EST

A2: For high school, depending on the reading, I try and do visuals and synonyms with the words I'm pre-teaching. #ELLCHAT

MsSalvac Nov 14 @ 9:32 PM EST

A4) Think alouds. Model omitting information and checking for meaning. #ELLCHAT

SharonJKGlenn Nov 14 @ 9:33 PM EST

Wow, I guess I did. Skill of summarizing can be difficult because of this, but teachers often ask them to do so. #ellchat

In reply to @judiehaynes

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Nov 14 @ 9:33 PM EST

A4 Relevant vs. irrelevant can be hard even for some teachers to sort out, Would be a good topic for a whole workshop! #ELLCHAT #Iowaclc

HSeslteacher Nov 14 @ 9:34 PM EST

A4: Sometimes distinguish it as "need to know" versus "nice to know." Critical skill for identifying main idea #ELLChat

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Nov 14 @ 9:35 PM EST

a4 like, some earlyed tchrs always ask “how did this character feel?” and that’s not always the most meaningful Q for every story #ELLCHAT

judiehaynes - Moderator Nov 14 @ 9:35 PM EST

A4) Have ELLs brainstorm "big idea" of book or passage. Relevant info is related to big idea. #ELLCHAT

brendakdaisy Nov 14 @ 9:36 PM EST

Teachers can "chunk" text into units of meaning and add focus questions to help students wade through dense material. #ellchat

#ELLCHAT's that don't address the fear/intimidation that many 2nd lang. learners are facing in wake of the election are lacking in substance

nikiugel Nov 14 @ 9:42 PM EST

A4) sometimes it helps to have students make up a test question from the reading to determine importance #ELLCHAT

A5 Summarizing is important - teachers in earlyed help kids do that by acting out stories in any language or nonverbally #ELLCHAT

SharonJKGlenn Nov 14 @ 9:45 PM EST

A5) need ability to infer if summarizing fiction. Get big picture understanding of a storyline. #ELLCHAT

HSeslteacher Nov 14 @ 9:47 PM EST

A5: Identifying main idea & sifting out essential details are first steps for summarizing. #ellchat

Time to board my plane. Have a great chat, friends! We do very important work- never forget that!! #changinglivesthroughlanguage #ellchat

judiehaynes - Moderator Nov 14 @ 9:48 PM EST

A5) Help ELLs learn to use sentence frames & diagrams to support learning. #ELLCHAT

MsSalvac Nov 14 @ 9:48 PM EST

A5) Annotating (chunking text & choosing something important to note) can help #ELLs learn to summarize text. #ELLCHAT

nikiugel Nov 14 @ 9:48 PM EST

A5) a graphic organizer helps with summaries. More and less complicated organizers can enable all 2 feel successful / participate. #ELLCHAT

A5) Teaching ELs to Summarize and synthesize text. https://t.co/2Q7pLxty7M #ELLCHAT

judiehaynes - Moderator Nov 14 @ 9:50 PM EST

A5) Beginning ELLs can sequence story by drawing pictures & writing short phrases or words. #ELLCHAT

judiehaynes - Moderator Nov 14 @ 9:51 PM EST

A5) Have ELLs write summaries on sticky notes after each section or chapter. #ELLCHAT

Miss_Shedlock Nov 14 @ 9:52 PM EST

Yes, this can help to solidify comprehension of the main ideas in a less intimidating & interactive way! #ellchat

In reply to @KarenNemethEdM

nikiugel Nov 14 @ 9:52 PM EST

A5) also it is helpful to ask ELLs to summarize one paragraph at a time and then read the individual paragraph summaries. #ELLCHAT

A5: I've used a tiered word summary. Start with 25 words, boil it down to 15, then even fewer. #ellchat

nikiugel Nov 14 @ 9:56 PM EST

A5) use one colored index card and 3 white cards. Ask ELLs to write the large idea on the colored card and details on the white. #ELLCHAT

brendakdaisy Nov 14 @ 9:57 PM EST

A5 For summarizing fiction, I like "Somebody...Wanted...But...So...Then" #ellchat

judiehaynes - Moderator Nov 14 @ 9:40 PM EST

Q5) What skills do ELLs need to learn in order to summarize information? #ELLCHAT

judiehaynes - Moderator Nov 14 @ 9:57 PM EST
