This review is from: Sheltered Content Instruction: Teaching English-Language Learners with Diverse Abilities (Paperback)
This book is an excellent tool for teachers seeking to improve their instructional practices. It is also a very useful tool for teacher trainers who wish to help educators in the process of reaching English Language learners (ELLs). It explains how effective teachers can reach ELLs. Although short, every page is worth reading.
