Language Development Within a Reading Fluency Lesson (Reading Universe)

Leonor Delgado, a veteran teacher at P.S. 109 in the Bronx, receives coaching from Dr. Elsa Cárdenas-Hagan, a bilingual reading specialist and speech pathologist, on how to intentionally integrate language development into her structured literacy lesson. As the students work toward reading fluency, they also practice defining words and giving answers in complete sentences. Ms. Delgado uses visuals and gestures to help the English Learners build their vocabulary throughout the lesson.
