Writing
Entering (1) through Developing (3)
This accommodation allows for spelling and grammar errors in student writing, unless a specific spelling or grammar word or concept has been explicitly taught.
After reading a student narrative the teacher notices the student does not capitalize proper nouns. The teachers knows this is part of the learning process. The teacher provides a mini lesson with examples on proper nouns. Teacher may provide the student with a resource on how to identify a proper noun.
Teacher allows for errors in spelling and grammar as part of the language acquisition process. Teacher looks for errors in the way students are applying rules of English.
Student will receive feedback on writing from teacher.
The Permit Student Errors accommodation may be removed when the student demonstrates accurate spelling and grammar after instruction. Most MLs do not require the Permit Student Error accommodation beyond the Emerging level (2), but some students occasionally require this accommodation through the Developing level (3). If you have questions, or feel your ML requires a change in their ILAP regarding this accommodation, please reach out to the ESOL teacher in your building to discuss the student's needs.
