make/take for ELL parent presentation

by ruth

Jan 24, 2011

I have to do a 55 minute session for ELL parents on how to help their K-1 children at home with reading. Any ideas? Also, since the session is 55 minutes long, I would like to do a make/take for the parents. Any ideas that have worked well with you?

Mary DeFalco Dear Ruth, At your meeting with parents, explain activities you do in your class via transparencies, Power Point, or Keynote presentation. It will be easy for your interpreter to follow and translate unless you speak the languages of your students.

Read alongs are a great support. If you send home read alongs this would be a great time to explain how you want your students to use them; viz. first grade students listen to the recording many times until they can read it independently. The picture books should revolve around what you are teaching in class. Make your own books. After developing a lesson, have the students draw pictures of what they learned or interested them. Label/title the pictures, scan them into the computer, and send the class booklets home. Find appropriate books and record the stories yourself and send the set home. If students don't have a tape player, CD player or a computer either ask the parents to buy or for those who can't afford ask the school to supply a listening machine. Public libraries have many read alongs - mostly in CDs at this time. If they have a computer at home, students can listen to elecrtonic books, work with alphabet sites etc. Your meeting with the parents is a great time to show parents what is available via your computer and a computer projector.

Send read-alongs of fairy tales that are familiar in their language. You may find abcteach [link removed].

Depending upon the level of your students you may want to invest in mini books to send home for your students to practice: 25 Spanish Emergent Reader Mini Books - check it out. [link removed]

55 min. may not be enough time for you- especially since you have to allow time for translations.

Enjoy preparing your presentation, Mary

Mary DeFalco Ruth, Another idea: make your own booklets for a take-home-keep-home. Take digital pictures of your students doing the objectives of the day. Type the words/sentences you want them to use. Or take the text from the book you are using and place them under your digital pictures. I invested in my own laser printer, digital camera, Flip, and software. ...See More
