Science of Reading for ELLs and MLs Literacy Briefs

Intentionally leveraging the linguistic and cultural assets that students bring from their home languages and communities, educators can cultivate literacy practices that are inclusive, equitable, and transformative for every learner in every classroom.

The Science of Reading for Multilingual Learners Toolkit compiles leading research in teaching literacy to ELLs and MLs, and provides direct guidance on how to put these ideas into practices for teachers of various class environments as well as school administrators.

The Science of Reading for Multilingual Learners Toolkit and its resources were created for OBEWL by Dr. Socorro Herrera, professor in the College of Education and director of the Center for Intercultural and Multilingual Advocacy (CIMA) at Kansas State University; Dr. Kathy Escamilla, professor of education in the division of social, bilingual and multicultural foundations at the University of Colorado Boulder, and Dr. Robin Cabral of Kansas State University.
