5.0 out of 5 stars
Good book for teachers & administrators not trained in ELL education,
This review is from: Why Do English Language Learners Struggle With Reading?: Distinguishing Language Acquisition From Learning Disabilities (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for those who have not been trained in working with ELL students. For those who have already been trained, this does not add a whole lot more, although it helped reframe or reinforce some ideas.
3.0 out of 5 stars
So So book on English Language Learners and Learning Disability,
By Lynn Ellingwood "The ESOL Teacher" (Webster, NY United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Why Do English Language Learners Struggle With Reading?: Distinguishing Language Acquisition From Learning Disabilities (Kindle Edition)
OK book on how to differentiate between a child learning English as a academic language and a child who also has a learning disability. The book reads like an academic paper provides good information on people learning English but has a strong bent towards the fashionable language of the current academic climate and I don't think it will help students, parents or educators decide who has a learning disability anymore than past books have. The author seems to be more anxious about backing up her sources, even when they don't quite jell together into a whole than really writing a good insightful book on her subject. Guess we could have just read her tables and charts.
