This book had some great strategies for helping ESL students.

[Alissa Quinlan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Helpful, especially for the ESL Praxis. Touches on all aspects that you'll find on the test, as well as offers a lot of examples and ideas you can use in the classroom.

Been awhile since I've updated on here...Well here's a book I'm sure you'll all want to read!
Actually I just had to read it for a class I have to take, and the book is exactly what you'd expect it to be. So I can't give it one star because it is what it is, even though I really had to force myself to read it.

This book is more of a review, then presenting more information. It's best used with the other book that I read about shelter content. I was kind of put off by some of the errors in grammar and punctuation, it just didn't seem right that a book teaching teachers to instruct ESL learners should not have its grammar apps together. But aside from that, worth the read.

Sometimes the wording is confusing. good for basic ELL stuff

This is more theory with less practically examples. Great For history and background knowledge of ELL instruction.
