ELL Perspective?
As a former high school teacher, I found this podcast to be absolutely fascinating and binged it while on vacation. The one thing I thought was missing and would love to hear about in future episodes is how the science of reading intersects with teaching English Language Learners. What have been the challenges there? As typically underserved, underrepresented populations, these kids don’t often have lobbyists or wealthy parents pushing money and other resources on their behalf. How about students with special needs. It’s my understanding that interventions that benefit these populations most often benefit the larger classroom population. I really want to hear from reading specialists and reading teachers who work with these groups of students in future episodes. Thank you for the reporting!
