America’s premier reading intervention provides added support for English Language Learners!

• Prepare

Introducing the LBook for READ 180 Enterprise Edition classrooms Stages A and B. The LBook instruction reinforces the skills and strategies in the rBook.

Designed to be used in whole and/or small group, the LBook prepares and supports students for the age-appropriate, motivating, and leveled content in the rBook. The LBook ensures all READ 180 students, especially ELLs at different language proficiency levels are able to access the academic language, word learning strategies, and grammar required to participate in accelerated instruction toward ELA grade-level standards.

The LBook:

• Prepares ELLs with the academic and oral language development, comprehension, writing, and grammar skills required for rBook content;
• Supports ELLs by addressing skills that are transferable from their primary language to English, including grammar, sound-spellings, the use of cognates that relate to academic vocabulary, morphology, and prefixes/suffixes;
• Extends rBook instruction by scaffolding access to text through multiple readings and by providing them opportunities to practice and apply newly acquired vocabulary and comprehension skills.

The LBook Teaching Guide provides teachers with the tools and instruction to:

• Engage in structured academic discussion to develop and organize their academic oral language
• Differentiate instruction for beginning, early intermediate, and intermediate levels of ELLs.
• Develop oral communication, listening, and speaking skills
• Explicitly teach high-use vocabulary
• Guide ELLs to understand and apply principles of English grammar and sentence structure when reading and writing.
• Activate and build background
• Help increase vocabulary through instruction in multiple-meaning words, structural analysis, academic base words, and meaningful word parts.
