ReviewsThis book has a TREMENDOUS amount of really good, detailed information. I found myself making notes on many of the pages of items that I wanted to become even more familiar with as well as implement into my own classroom., "Differentiated Literacy Strategies for English Language Learners is a great resource for teachers that need to identify which types of English language learners will benefit from strategies without wasting time and frustrating students with strategies that won "t produce results. This is a resource that can be utilized in all classrooms regardless of language acquisition.", I absolutely loved this book and would put it in the hands of each of our elementary teachers. The strategies and activities in the book are not only beneficial for second language learners, but for all students.
