Welcome to #EllChat_BkClub 18.0
featuring
Growing Language & Literacy
by Andrea Honigsfeld
We are so excited to have the amazing Dr. Andrea Honigsfeld back for the third time as an author participating in our chat. In previous rounds, we read Collaboration and Co-Teaching and ELL Frontiers, which are other texts she co-authored. Everything that Andrea contributes to the field of education is informative and excellent. We are so thankful to have her with us again to celebrate, and learn from, her brand new text!
At first glimpse, Growing Language & Literacy is breathtaking. This text includes beautiful color photos of students engaged in various language-based activities as well as images of teacher tools and student work that provide a detailed picture of how EL students can be supported.
The book provides research, best practices, and strategies across language levels, so we will dive into one language level each week.
Thank to Meghan Love (@mloveESL) for creating this amazing infographic detailing the Five Basic Principles from the Growing Language and Literacy Text.

The reading schedule is as follows:
I will link all of the weekly questions here so you can find them all in one place.
If you choose to
respond to the weekly questions, please identify which one you’re responding to
in your tweet (2A1, 2A2) Please note: The number before the Q indicates which
week of the chat we are in, so 2A1 would indicate the answer to question 1 from
week 2. Remember that you are not limited to these questions. Post a pic
of your highlighted text, your favorite quotes, meaningful ideas, book snaps,
your own questions, and connections to other texts!!
#EllChat_BkClub is a slow
chat, so you can post at any time throughout the week and throughout the chat.
For this chat, we
will be using the following hashtags:
