In today’s episode, I speak with Kristen Vibas, an ELL teacher from Virginia who I met on Instagram. Kristen has been teaching since 2005.
She shares how she went from aspiring actress to ELL teacher, and shares peeks into her classroom. You will love the tips and strategies she has developed on how to support multilingual students and how to teach reading to ELLs as much as I did.

Both content teachers and ELL teachers will find this episode valuable as reading is such a critical part of learning in all subjects.

What you will learn about how to teach reading:

The 5 components of reading
Reasons why reading is such a difficult domain for many students to master
Tips and strategies for teaching reading to ELLs
How reading instruction differs between younger and older students
Suggestions for avoiding the dreaded “summer slide” with reading skills
