“This booklet will provide our ideas … about what you might want to consider when teaching students with low literacy levels or whose schooling has been interrupted. We will make some suggestions and talk about some classroom strategies, but, there are so many variables in your situations – newcomer programs, no newcomer programs, pullouts, no pullouts, translation, no translation, parent involvement, no parent involvement, and on and on, that you will have to adapt what is here to your local situation. It re-affirms that many of your instincts are very good and much of what you do is very appropriate, but that perhaps our framework for what we expect of our students, how quickly we expect it, and what we look for as measures of progress may need to be reexamined.” – Publisher’s description
