Reading Comprehension Strategies for Students with Learning Disabilities Who Are Emergent Bilingual
Sarisahin, Suheyla
Intervention in School and Clinic, v56 n1 p3-12 Sep 2020
Teachers of students with learning disabilities (LD) who also are emergent bilingual (EB) are tasked with meeting students' individual learning needs and developing academic language. Teachers require specialized knowledge in second-language acquisition and the specific learning strategies to support students' learning disabilities. Reading comprehension skills are the foundational skills that students with LD who are EB most often need to improve. When working with students, research-based reading strategies to support their reading comprehension skills are critical, but must also support students' developing English proficiency. This article identifies research-based reading comprehension strategies supportive of developing English proficiency that may be implemented for students with LD who are EB in the elementary grade levels. A self-evaluation tool is provided to guide teachers in helping their students to improve their reading comprehension skills while supporting their language development.
