  Case: ESOL test review
I have two non-English speaking students that are struggling in my class. 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?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
There are programs available through Google called Natural Reader, which reads passages to students at a natural rate and allows students to stop and go back to unknown words. 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.

Comments: Use of available programs on the computer can supplement what this teacher is already doing and will help the students familiarize themselves with this additional resource. IT can however , de-peronalize the process and if students are not comfortable with a computer option it could increase frustrations.
