English learners are doing double duty in schools compared to their monolingual peers—not only are they learning to speak a new language, but they’re also trying to learn academic content in English, often through reading.

Understanding the best practices for emergent bilingual reading instruction can help students achieve academic success in their new language—and the Science of Reading has answers for how to best implement instruction in the classroom. Lexia Learning’s Cassandra Wheeler (Director of LETRS State Success), Dr. José Viana (Senior Education Advisor), and Breanna Guzman (Senior Language Product Specialist) with Tan Huynh (Teacher, Author, Podcaster, and Consultant) and Beth Skelton (Educational Consultant) dug deep into what’s different about teaching reading to multilingual learners.

In this session, listeners learn about incorporating instruction based on the Science of Reading for emergent bilingual and multilingual students, practical strategies (including how to prioritize both language and literacy development), and the importance of culturally and linguistically responsive pedagogy, grounded in an asset-based approach.

Emergent bilingual students need different academic supports and structures than their monolingual peers, and many educators have to rely on instructional models designed for students who already speak English—leading to a disconnect for our ELL students. Ensuring all emergent bilingual and multilingual students have access to a quality education first requires defining what that education looks like.

Lexia Learning’s Cassandra Wheeler (Director of LETRS State Success) and Breanna Guzman (Senior Language Product Specialist) with Dr. Linda Cavazos (Executive Director of ELLAS Consulting) and Martha Hernandez (Executive Director of Californians Together) broke down what a quality education for emergent bilinguals looks like, diving deeper into how second languages are learned, where and how that learning occurs, and how teachers themselves learn and develop as expert professionals.

In this session, listeners gain understanding of the value oral discourse brings to literacy learning, how to implement effective ELD practices across districts, schools, and classrooms, and useful resources for creating language frames on a practical level.

Emergent bilingual and English language learners are sometimes grouped as if they have the exact same needs and supports. Yet, as many educators are keenly aware, there’s not a “one-size-fits-all” approach to tailoring instructional support for English language learning.

How can educators better support experienced multilinguals (also known as long-term English learners or LTELs), dual-language learners, newcomers, and students with limited or interrupted formal education (SLIFE)?

Lexia Learning’s Breanna Guzman (Senior Language Product Specialist) facilitates a panel discussion featuring Dr. Lizzy Cashiola (Associate Director of Regional Research, Houston Education Research Consortium, Rice University), Andrea Bitner (ELL Educator, Author, and Speaker, Interboro School District), and Dr. José Viana (Senior Education Advisor, Lexia Learning) to discuss these student groups while considering the approaches, insights, and perspectives to support multilingual students with different and important characteristics.

In this session, listeners learn the context and importance of asset-based labeling and terminology, research findings related to the specific needs of these student groups, and what schools can do to help better engage families of students learning English.
