111. Help Your ESL Students Find Success and Confidence With These 4 Tips

The Literacy Dive Podcast: Reading and Writing Strategies for Upper Elementary Teachers and Parents

Finding ways to support students, whether it’s in writing or other academic needs, is a passion of mine. Therefore, when I had ESL students in my classroom, it was my goal to help them grow, learn, and develop academically and in the English language.

In last week’s episode, Episode 110, I shared writing strategies that support ESL students, so be sure to take a listen if you haven’t already. On the podcast today, I’m sharing 4 additional tips to support your ESL students that help them thrive in your classroom.

When having students in your classroom who need additional support, it’s important that each support helps them grow academically, in the language, and provide simple action steps. These 4 tips are simple, yet effective for your ESL students, or really, any student needing additional support pertaining to literacy. My 4 tips are:

1. Allow and welcome more think/wait time
2. Provide oral response stems or rephrase student statements
3. Use visuals and icons
4. Read aloud to students
