The reason I chose this question for my Creative Synthesis Project is that many students who are identified as English Language Learners are not reading on grade level. There are many factors that affect a student's reading comprehension in addition to background knowledge, vocabulary and fluency. Many students who speak a different language do not have these components within the English language, which hinders their ability to comprehend texts that are developmentally appropriate.
I found several ways to effectively teach reading comprehension to students who are ELL. I used fluency, vocabulary and different forms of technology in order to aid these students in reading comprehension. I worked with several ELL students that were performing below grade level on mClass TRC,DIBELS and progress monitoring assessments. With the implementation of each strategy featured, these learned experienced growth. These steps allowed the students to become closer to reaching their reading goals.
