Course Description: 

ELD 1 is a one period, year-long course that provides a balanced approach to English language development, using communication-based, content-based, and literature-based activities. Students strengthen listening, speaking, reading and writing through a variety of strategies appropriate to the beginning level of proficiency. Course activities and assignments are based on the state-adopted ELA/ELD framework at the emerging level. The adopted curriculum for ELD 1 is Read 180, in which students rotate through time working in a Student Application, in a small group with the teacher, and reading appropriately-leveled books independently.
