Multilingual Learners bring valuable language skills to the classroom, but not all literacy instruction is designed with them in mind. Some educators question whether Structured Literacy—a systematic, explicit approach to teaching reading—supports language development for students learning more than one language. Others have seen how it can be adapted to build strong literacy skills while honoring multilingualism.

This first edWeb podcast of the Structured Literacy for Every Learner Summit explores what Structured Literacy looks like when implemented with Multilingual Learners in mind. Panelists discuss how explicit reading instruction can work alongside language development, ensuring students gain strong literacy skills without losing their linguistic identities. With a special focus on Spanish-speaking students, the conversation highlights ways to make Structured Literacy both effective and affirming. Listeners learn:

• How Structured Literacy can support reading development in more than one language
• Ways to adapt instruction to leverage Multilingual Learners’ language strengths
• How to ensure literacy instruction values and integrates students’ home languages

This edWeb podcast is designed for K-12 educators, administrators, and advocates committed to ensuring Multilingual Learners receive high-quality literacy instruction that supports both their reading development and their linguistic identity.
