Vocabulary Development for ELLs

Vocabulary development for English language learners  can seem like an overwhelming prospect.  There are so many words students don’t know!  Where do we start?  Which words should we teach?  What strategies can we use to help ELLs understand the new words?  How do we provide opportunities for ELLs to practice new language?  Check out the links below for information that was shared at the Vocabulary Development for ELLs  flex session in December.
