| contents | Targeting Content Area Literacy Instruction to Meet the Needs of Adolescent English Language Learners Watkins, Naomi M. Lindahl, Kristen M. Content Area Reading Reading Achievement Second Language Learning National Competency Tests Grade 8 Literacy Language Skills Reading Instruction English (Second Language) Student Needs Teaching Methods Despite recent attention to the library needs of adolescent English language learners (ELLs), 70% of eighth grade ELL students scored below basic proficiency in reading on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) compared to only 26% of their native English-speaking peers. Since the majority of reading done in the content areas requires students to read for information, the discrepancy between ELL reading achievement scores and native English speakers' scores on the NAEP has the potential to increase even more substantially in secondary content area classes. Teachers must target ELL needs, considering both language skills and those skills contributing to content area literacy, as they plan content lessons. This article provides description of targeted instruction and reasons why all educators should target content area reading instruction for ELLs. Furthermore, it highlights the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) model, which is one way content area teachers can successfully target reading instruction. (Contains 1 figure.) |
