Here's what teachers are saying about this MEGA bundle:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the most helpful resource I've ever used with a newcomer student! Typically the newcomers I've had in class did know a bit of English, but last year I received a student from Honduras that knew no English whatsoever. I knew the things I needed to teach as "survival" words and phrases, but had no time to make things for the student to use. This was a lifesaver! Thank you so much for such wonderful activities! -Krysten C.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is an excellent resource to use with newcomers. It includes activities for all language domains, so I feel good about making sure that my students are getting what they need! The seller is also really awesome about answering questions and offering help when needed! -Maggie H.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Honestly, this has to be one of the TOP 3 resources that I have purchased from TPT. I hesitated before making the purchase because of the price, but it is worth every penny. I am using this with basic beginner ELLs and they love it. The student digital resources are great for reinforcement and independent work. I basically had 2 days to copy and print before our schools shut down and moved to fully remote. Lesson plans are included and  I have modified some for my students. It takes some time to set up your materials but its worth it -Fatima M.

Why this program?

I know what it's like to be unsure of how to support your ELL students. In my early years of teaching, I oftentimes didn't know how to support my ELL students either, nor did I have the time to give them the materials they desperately needed. Instead, I would end up giving them a worksheet in hopes they could at least learn a few vocabulary words. After receiving my ESL endorsement and working with ELL students for many years, I have become passionate about giving ELL students ample opportunities to learn while also supporting teachers by creating a more engaging curriculum for ELL Learners.

This program goes way beyond the typical worksheet. It incorporates weekly rich vocabulary lessons, along with an interactive grammar notebook activity, speaking games, authentic reading and writing opportunities, and an extra practice opportunity for homework. Daily lesson plans are provided so even a teacher assistant or parent volunteer can offer support. The most important piece of this curriculum is seeing the joy on students' faces when they begin to recognize vocabulary and speak sentences in a new language.
