ELLs and the CCLS
Diane Staehr Fenner and John Segota (2012)“English Language Proficiency (ELP) standards in conjunction with content-area standards provide guideposts for helping ELLs develop the academic language necessary to reach the high levels of achievement outlined for all students.”
Diane August (2011)“CCSS and ELP standards should complement
and inform each other.”“Ells, especially those who start school in later grades, will need additional time and appropriate support to meet standards.”
IMPLICATIONS: What we know about language
development must guide how ELL students will meet the Common Core Standards.
Only with explicit and regular instruction of Academic English will ELLs reach levels of achievement set forth in the CCLS and content standards.

Nature is filled with color. Sometimes you can find all or most of a rainbow's colors in a single creature, such as the lorikeet in the small box (Bottom left) or the macaw (left). These jungle birds can blend into their colorful habitats.
Text-based Discussions
The tropical parrot may be called a scarlet macaw, but look closely at its flashy feathers. They include much more than scarlet (a bright shade of red). In fact, they seem to mimic a whole rainbow.
