What does Common Core say about ELLs? • “ELLs who are literate in a first language that shares cognates with English can apply first-language vocabulary knowledge when reading in English; likewise ELLs with high levels of schooling can often bring to bear conceptual knowledge developed in their first language when reading in English. …However, ELLs with limited or interrupted schooling will need to acquire background knowledge prerequisite to educational tasks at hand.” Application of Common Core Standards for ELLs
Standards-Based Curriculum Standards based instruction for English language learners, Joseph Laturnau, 2001
