Delia Pompa: Hello. Welcome to this year's final show in the Reading Rockets teleconference series, Achieving Success in Reading. Today, we're going to be talking about teaching English language learners to read. In classrooms across the country, teachers need to teach reading to children who don't speak English, but most of our teachers have not been trained to do this.
