ELL Support in the Classroom

My classroom receives a lot of support for English Language Learners especially because we have two ELL's in the class. Everyday one of the ELL teachers at my school comes into my class to help out during our literacy block. To support these students she uses a lot of visual cues, and modeling. She also uses a lot of expression when she is describing things. Through the use of modeling the students are usually able to understand what she is saying or what they are supposed to be doing. The ELL teacher also provided the students with an Oxford Picture Dictionary for Kids. This is a great resource because the dictionary provides pictures of everyday objects and activities and the students are able to resort to this when they don't understand something.
