They recieve ESOL support once a day. I am worried about how to help them review for the upcoming GaMass test. They have a spanish to english dictionary, I use google translate with them, and have made vocabulary cards for them in English and Spanish. I am not sure how to give them extra support for reviewing. Any suggestions?                 Submit a Possible Solution Please read response(s) below (if any) before posting your solution.                 Solution 1 Posted March 15, 2015 5:37 pm eQymyX Reps: 108 I would suggest talking to the students' ESOL teacher. I am sure that he/she could give you many great and useful ideas that could benefit your students. ESOL teachers are trained to work with these students, so I would utilize their skills as much as possible.

I believe that you can select the passages and even add questions to the end for students to answer. There is also a program call RazKids, it may be too young for your age group, but it is another read and respond type program (you do have to have a license). Maybe suggest to parents they stay after school or stay in from any activity period they may have. This will be more work for you but hopefully it will help in the long run.

Do the students have IEPs for language? Check those for accommodations. After speaking with the ESOL teacher or bilingual assistant for more possible solutions, I would provide more visual aids, like graphic organizers. Best of luck!

After you do that, you should hold an emergency meeting with the ELL committee to find a way to provide additional support for the students.
