ELL Program

at Horace Mann

Our ELL students are bilingual and bicultural children who share one common goal: improve their conversational and academic skills in English. ​

Meeting Your Children's Needs

ELL teachers work with students in a variety of settings at Horace Mann:

    • In class support
    • Pull out support
    • Small group or individual support

ELL Services May Include...

    • Language development-academic and social
    • Functional language lessons: how to describe, sequence, explain, retell, summarize, agree/disagree, elaborate, etc.
    • Reading and writing
    • Vocabulary lessons and strategies
    • Academic conversations
    • Previewing classroom content
    • Learning about U.S. culture
    • And more...

Collaboration

ELL teachers collaborate frequently with your children's classroom teachers to align language goals with academic content goals.

We often communicate with families to bridge that home-school connection, which is so important for our ELL students.
