In elementary schools, mainstream teachers are encountering increasing numbers of non-English speaking students in their classroom. This book helps them meet the needs of these students, while not neglecting the needs of their regular students. KEY TOPICS: Written by two veteran ESL teachers, this book gives elementary school teachers a "crash course" in meeting the needs of ESL students AND provides 120 activities-ready to reproduce for class use. MARKET: All teachers of grades 2-6+ who have students with limited English-language skills in their regular classrooms.
