If the child seems ready for more but is choosing a challenging route, we will try to push the child a little more. For example, if a child is very intimidated/shy and needs more hand holding, we won’t push as hard until we see the child is emotionally ready for that. Our expectations for each child varies based on language level but also emotional level.

As the language level increases, we will expect more, ultimately with full sentences and more explanation. For a slightly higher level of English, we may have the child fill in a word/phrase of a sentence frame when asked a question. For example, if they have very little English language, we may only expect a response with pointing or yes/no.

Having students respond at a level that suits the individual.

Reducing the number of vocabulary words, or carefully selecting the words if we use the same book.

If we use the same book, we may scaffold more or paraphrase.

Using a different, more appropriate book for the group.

When working with the ELL group, we use strategies such as: In years where I’ve had more ELLs than English speakers, I take the larger group and the tutor takes the smaller group. In what ways do you differentiate for your ELLs?įor read aloud, I do tend to split the group so that the tutor reads with the ELL students and occasionally, low language non-ELL students. And we do pay close attention to how they score on vocabulary. … I do pay attention to how children respond/interact when we are assessing because that can tell you something about their language level. I take my observational notes and the data from general assessments to determine what each of my students needs, ELL or not. There are no special assessments with data that I use. Lee shared with us some of her tips and strategies for assessing and supporting her ELLs, and all the students in her TK classroom. Just ask Nancy Lee, a 22-year OUSD veteran who teaches transitional kindergarten at Allendale Elementary School.
