Michelle’s easy-to-use strategies have made learning for my ELL students less stressful! Even students who struggle with the English language can learn required content and demonstrate what they have learned effectively, using these methods! As a bonus, these strategies have also been useful for my students with special needs who struggle with oral and written language. I love having the concise, easy-to-reference format of this book when I need to review and implement strategies to support my students’ learning.
