Teach your English language learners how to talk about their families with three weeks of lessons.

They also work on learning story structure, practice with concepts of print, and work on blending onsets and rimes.

Pros

  • Comes with worksheets and printable instructions for all the activities as well as teacher reference materials about the packet and ELL assessment (see materials tab)
