This brief and highly practical text offers pre-service and in-service teachers strategies and activities for differentiating early literacy instruction for English language learners.

This book is packed with strategies and activities that are directly applicable to the classroom and that focus on meeting the early literacy demands of No Child Left Behind. Early literacy strategies for English language learners are differentiated according five levels of language proficiency. The book includes a wealth of tips for parent involvement, offering ways parents, who may not be literate in English, can help their child develop literacy skills.
