Mariam Alqarawi's Literacy Blog: Text Set

This list is for English as Second Language kids who are in k-2 to 4 . I will focus on this list on variety of materials that assist them to learn English language.

The list will address the following standard:

STANDARD 1: Students will listen, speak, read, and write in English for information and understanding.

Students learning English as a second language will use English to acquire, interpret, apply, and transmit information for content area learning and personal use. They will develop and use skills and strategies appropriate to their level of English proficiency to collect data, facts, and ideas; discover relationships, concepts, and generalizations; and use knowledge generated from oral, written, and electronically produced texts.

Standard 1: Performance Indicators

2. Read, gather, view, listen to, organize, discuss, and interpret information related to academic content areas from various sources. Such sources include reference books, magazines, textbooks, the Internet, audio and media presentations, oral interviews, charts, graphs, maps, and diagrams. (L, S, R, W)
