ELL Resources

There are many resources available online to help ELL students. Check out the Curriculum Links on the homepage of your school's website. Visit the classroom pages that teachers post to the schools' websites.
A website that provides several links to ELL resources is: http://www.nwlsd-orc.org/esl.html .
Other ways to help your child develop skills include:


  • writing lists
  • labeling items
  • writing about a picture 
  • keeping a journal
  • writing in a diary
  • sending postcards 
  • reading books
  • reading signs
  • reading names for items in stores
  • audio books
  • listening to a story
  • predicting what will happen next in a story
  • telling about what was happy/sad/ exciting about the day
  • describing the weather
  • retelling a story   
I hope that you find these suggestions helpful!
