ELL: Working with Children from whom English is a New Language

Please take a look at this website. It has some great facts and a whole area of content on ELL students. One fact states that in the year 2010, over thirty percent of all school-age children will come from homes in which the primary language is not English. Something else on the site that I found helpful was sample lessons for the first day to help children get acquinted. Also check out the tips and strategies for communicating and tutoring ELL. http://www.bnkst.edu/literacyguide/ell.html
