to speak, read, and write English well…I know that if I try my best,

A Growing Concern: the U.S. ELL
Population is made up of 5 million students and is projected to
grow to 13.3 million students by 2010. This growth, coupled with
the national shortage of teachers trained to teach ELL students,
creates significant challenges for school districts to make Adequate
Yearly Progress (AYP).
Special features in the
READ 180 reading intervention program are designed to meet the needs
of ELL students. Now in more than 7,000 schools, READ 180 has been
proven effective in raising the reading achievement scores of ELL
students.
