Facilitator's Slideshow: Teaching English Learners How to Read with a Focus on Short Vowels

This slideshow presentation Teaching English Learners How to Read with a Focus on Short Vowels, is a powerful professional development training designed for all teachers looking to better serve the English Learners (ELs) in their classroom.

This training will lead participants in the analysis and discussion of Helping English Learners with Short ‘i’ and Short ‘e’, a Reading Universe video playlist featuring third grade teacher Estella Escajeda of Loma Linda Elementary School in Anthony, New Mexico, who guides her students through a structured literacy phonics lesson on the difference between short ‘i’ and short ‘e’.

The slide show contains everything you need to present and deliver this PD session, including the session agenda, video links, talking points, and discussion questions. Each slide offers Facilitator Notes with scripts for you to follow as you set the stage for each learning activity.
