Vocabulary is what most of us think of when it comes to ELD. Words are just part of it: choosing the right words to use to express thinking and reasoning when speaking or writing is tough! The link above will take you to a page that has several ideas for teaching vocabulary. Then, use the links to the right --> to help you build meaning and craft frames for the words.
Frames for language functions that move across a continuum from simple (state a preference) to complex (prove a hypothesis). The situation and the content of a particular task are listed to determine what language function is needed.
Sentence frames for different language functions. The sentences frames are grouped K-2 and 3-5. Each group spans three ELD levels from Beginning to Transitional (also known as Bridging).
Six different sets of Language Line sentence frames that can be used to help give students a framework to express six essential comprehension skills: cause and effect, classifying, comparison and contrast, evaluating, predicting, and summarizing.
