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.

Many students encounter difficulty as they transition from "learning to read" to "reading to learn" in fourth grade, and this difficulty can be even more pronounced for English language learners. Featuring Dr. Nonie Lesaux, this webcast explores effective strategies for instruction and assessment that can help teachers support their ELL students.
