Summary, etc.: Teaching children to read is highly skilled work, and teaching children whose first language is not English can be particularly challenging. This video and viewers guide help educators discover crucial, sophisticated literacy skills that students need but that are second nature to mature readers. The video helps viewers see what is hard about reading words and text, and how teachers can analyze the academic English of texts to support students' reading. Viewers come away better able to observe their own students' reading and choose appropriate instructional strategies. The viewers' guide, as a supplement to the video, includes provocative questions and learning activities, outlines for using the video and the activities in study groups and classes, a transcript, a glossary, and a reference list for further study.
Target Audience Note: Audience: Teachers and linguists.
System Details Note: VHS.
