Description: "ESL/ELD students must learn language for literacy and for success in the content areas. Spotlight on English, a new Elementary English Language Development program, (2009) focuses on developing language for literacy and content. It is the first ESL/ ELD program that truly teaches Academic English through content-driven lessons, while addressing the proficiency needs of every student. Spotlight on English offers both teachers and students the most effective tools to succeed!" Quote from website.
Spotlight on English’s objective is to help ELLs access grade level content in order to do well on standardized tests. Reading selections and activities are grade-level-appropriate and spiral from unit 1 through unit 8, starting just below grade level in unit 1 and just under mainstream reading level by unit 8.
The program seeks to align with WIDA standards and to systematically differentiate instruction. All Student Book activities are differentiated for three proficiency levels and offer an additional way for students with difficulties, disabilities, or need for enrichment to access the same material.
Spotlight has an interactive online component that can be used at school and at home. The program includes multiple components. See each grade level for specifics.
