Easy as Pie Content Lessons

This guide offers innovative strategies for teaching English language learners (ELLs) in elementary classrooms. Emphasizing a reverse approach, it prioritizes comprehensibility by introducing texts backwards, empowering students to develop prior knowledge and specific vocabulary. The incorporation of multisensory methods and cooperative activities, like Think-Pair-Share, fosters deeper engagement and interaction. Additionally, it stresses the importance of questioning strategies to enhance critical thinking skills. By evaluating lessons through the lens of knowledge progression and context, educators can create a more supportive learning environment for ELLs.
