In this much-needed book, the authors marshal research and several decades of their own experience to provide instructional practices and activities that will help teachers develop newcomers as readers and writers of English and engage them in content learning across the curriculum. Equally important, they show how teachers can advocate for these vulnerable students, many of whom have experienced multiple challenges in their home countries or in the United States, including poverty, violence, and political persecution.With chapters on assessment and second-language acquisition as well as reading, writing, speaking, and content learning, their book is a timely and comprehensive guide for any K-8 educator whose classroom or school includes newcomer students.
This book offers a wealth of instructional practices designed to support newcomer students, but it does so much more than that. As readers, we gain a deeper understanding of who these children are, the social, emotional, and economic supports they and their families need, and the rich diversity they bring to our classrooms. The authors cultivate within us the moral obligation to be these children's advocates as well as their teachers.--Dr. Elizabeth Jaeger, Department of Teaching, Learning, and Sociocultural Studies, University of Arizona
This is an outstanding book. It provides essential information about newcomers, their backgrounds, their needs, and their strengths; and it includes a step-by-step guide for supporting these youngsters in the classroom in today's uncertain world. Examples of how to teach both language and content are detailed, time-tested, accessible, and anchored in the wisdom of practice. It is a must-read for teacher educators, practicing teachers, and all future teachers.--Guadalupe Valdes, Ph.D., Bonnie Katz Tenenbaum Professor of Education, Stanford University
