While English may share very few cognates with a language like Chinese, 30-40% of all words in English have a related word in Spanish. For Spanish-speaking ELLs, cognates are an obvious bridge to the English language.

Beaty 50 'Early Childhood Literacy Strategies is the answer to the early childhood teacher's dilemma of how to teach reading to children 3, 4, and 5 years of age as mandated by the state and national governments. This text presents an easy-to-use, easy-to-understand approach involving young childrens' own emergence into the world of speaking and listening, reading and writing. Teachers and student interns will quickly learn what picture books and activities to use with children, how to use them, and how children can benefit from their use. They will learn what to expect as young childrens' writing emerges from scribbles to pictures and real words. Finally, they will come to terms with the concept of emergent literacy as it appears in preschool chi Books & Videos/DVDs: Professional Development > Literacy jgordon Wed, 21 May 2008 15:56:53 GMT http://www.rockwood.k12.mo.us/CRESTVIEW/kerens/word%20choice%20unit.htm A sequence of suggested activities for teaching middle school students word choice.
