‘This book answers many questions about working with English Language Learners. The anecdotes, examples, and stories help make the theoretical concepts concrete. I really like the hands-on suggestions, and many of the strategies in the book can be used daily.’
—Brenna Godsey, Science Teacher
Canyon High School, Anaheim, CA
