Scaffolding Reading Experiences for English-Language Learners
Jill Fitzgerald, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Michael F. Graves, University of Minnesota
Foreword by Claude Goldenberg

If you have bilingual and/or English-language learners in your classroom, school, or district, here's some exceedingly helpful news! This outstanding new guide gives you just what you need to help English-language learners excel in reading and the content areas - by creating lessons for fiction and non-fiction texts using the Scaffolded Reading Experience (SRE) framework.

Building on the core foundations of the widely-popular Scaffolding Reading Experiences: Designs for Student Success, 2e by Michael and Bonnie Graves (2003, Christopher-Gordon Publishers, Inc.), this resource helps you create coordinated sets of pre-reading, during-reading, and post-reading activities. You can shape lessons around texts in order to help your English-language learners learn content, make progress, and, in some cases, reinforce reading instruction they receive at other times in the day.

This valuable guide . . .

  • provides a framework that's easy to understand and use
  • details how you can teach in a way that accommodates the diverse needs of your students
  • lets you learn from examples of situations similar to yours
  • shows you how to help English-language learners make progress in both learning and reading - and how you can reinforce reading instruction in other parts of the day
  • and much more!
