Take the Flip-to Book Tour!

You have to see this book to believe this book. And once you use this book it will quickly become your most treasured teaching resource. What exactly is so remarkable? All of the best teaching tools in language and literacy are at your fingertips! Just flip to that strategy you want to learn or that literacy goal you want to reach for a wealth of ready-to-use resources to actively engage learners, build academic language, and strategically support literacy instruction.

Much more than a resource for EL specialists, EL Excellence Every Day is written for every teacher, with a singular focus on improving the ways we all differentiate literacy instruction. Busy teachers especially will appreciate:

Over 85 flip-to strategies that help you engage and support all learners
200+ prompts and linguistic scaffolds to facilitate academic conversations connected to specific literacy goals
Lesson-ready resources for essential literacy goals: anticipate before reading, read to understand, read to analyze and infer, and write with text evidence
Formative assessment tasks and if/then charts for personalizing teaching to every student
Differentiation guides that demonstrate how to adjust supports across EL proficiency levels
Intuitive, color-coded design so you can find what you need, when you need it

No one lesson or strategy is ever the perfect solution for every student. No one student learns in the same way. If there’s one universal truth in teaching it’s that every child is unique. Devour this book and soon enough you’ll provide the excellent literacy instruction each and every student deserves each and every day.

"We need resources that clearly and quickly help us to meet diverse instructional needs every day in every classroom. Tonya Ward Singer’s EL Excellence Every Day: The Flip-to Guide for Differentiating Academic Literacy is such a resource."

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Tonya Ward Singer’s latest book, written in an easy-to-access conversational style, is exactly what teachers need to bring English learners to the next level in language as well as content. Ward Singer obviously knows her way around classrooms that contain ELs and offers practical suggestions grounded in research of what teachers can do when very real situations arise with ELs. This book provides guidance framed around ELs’ proficiency levels and will help teachers find that ′sweet spot′ that we’re all looking for to promote our ELs’ excellence. I highly recommend this book for all types of teachers."

-- Dr. Diane Staehr Fenner, President Published On: 2017-06-29

If you buy only one book to help your work with ELs, get this one!

This book is a wise investment in your teaching craft.

I work with ELs in our local juvenile hall, jail and expelled students school. We get a lot of trainings that leave you with good feelings but still stuck the same classroom routines and activities. Tonya Ward Singer, however, gave a training that left us with a lot of ready-to-use activities. I’ve been using what I learned there ever since, so I thought I would buy her book.

This book sure lived up to the amazing training! It was as useful, digestible, and well organized. Since getting it, I have been flipping through the tabs for reference and also for weekly lesson prep. Unlike other powerhouse books, the amount of amazing material is not over overwhelming because it’s in small, bite-size bits.

My favorite part is about a Mindset called “Value English Learner’s Assets.” This idea is always mentioned in seminars but often in a token manner. Ward Singer really gets in the weeds with informed advice that shows you she doesn’t just pay lip service to this issue. She has a section called Actions to Live the Mindset which tells us how to “walk this talk.” For example, she advises teachers to pay special mind to pronouncing names correctly. I can attest to the efficacy of paying attention to details like this. There’s an almost confused delight that comes into a students’ face when you get a name like Xochitl (SOH-cheel) or Ivan (ee-VAHN) right, or even if you just ask how to say it and pay attention to the answer. So much negative redirection can be preempted by with moves like this.

“Valuing non-standard English dialects” is another amazing action suggestion. I will often diagram sentences in non-standard English to show that they are still following a grammar structure. I have witnessed the affective obstacles to learning start melting away. I have never seen this advice about names and non-standard dialects in black and white advice and I’m so glad Ms. Ward Singer, whose reputation precedes her, is preaching this gospel.

Thank you for these important insights and go-to activities!

THIS IS THE BEST EL BOOK OUT THERE SO FAR. Combines everything, easy to use.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 29, 2018

Verified Purchase

I am an EL teacher who works with a variety of students, many of whom have experienced trauma, come from low income households or are SLIFEs. I am also responsible within our school's model for presenting professional learning for staff. I co-teach with 3 grade level classroom teachers all of whom find this book a PRACTICAL and EFFICIENT resource. This is a book ALL teachers should have. It is thoughtfully written and very practitioner oriented. This is a book that will help all teachers QUICKLY ACCESS tools they need to help EL learners access content curricula, but also answer administrator questions regarding their practice in evaluations. It's aligned with Cultural Proficiency, SIOP and Common Core, and offers so much, all in a convenient guide. I can not stress this book enough to other teachers. Singer also collaborated with some other big names in education, including Zaretta Hammond and Jennifer Serravallo.

My Go-To as a Coach and Teacher!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 27, 2018

Verified Purchase

I am an ELL teacher and Instructional Coach. This book is my go-to resource for easy to use strategies that support all students. I love that there are intentional structures that value students voice and culture, as well as provide support for students feeling successful at every step of their development. There are suggestions for how to adjust scaffolding based on student behaviors (when to increase scaffolding when students need more support and when to pull it away when students demonstrate readiness). I will be using these strategies to support Professional Learning K-12 in our District. If you are a new teacher, a principal who needs to start or re-up the conversation with your staff around scaffolding, cultural responsivess, the value of collaborative conversations and engagement, or maybe you are a veteran teacher that wants to "put it all together" for your students...THIS IS YOUR BIBLE!
