The ELL Leadership Team is
in the process of completing an extensive annotated bibliography of resources
for teachers of English Learners. It should be available on the NWP
website by the end of the summer. We are very excited about it, and look
forward to sharing it with the network as soon as we are able to. I am
enjoying reading the titles you all are suggesting, and I think you will find
many of them in this resource. It's also great to see other titles we may
not have included.
Although these two books
indicate they are for K-8, I think they might be helpful at the high school
level:
Writing Sense: Integrated
When English Language
Learners Write (Samway)
I've also found Classroom
Instruction that Works with ELLs (Hill & Flynn) very useful, especially
because it ties in with Marzano pretty well.
The Center for Applied
Linguistics (www.cal.org) is a great resource as
well.

Thanks again. Please feel free to add to the list if you have
not, or if you think of any other books your EL students particularly enjoyed.
