Newcomers Curriculum: Grades K-5

The resources in the ELL Newcomers bundle cover all 4 language domains to weekly help students go from having little or no English to developing ESL speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills in English. This 28-week bundle is filled with ELL vocabulary, pictures, and games to help promote a comfortable environment that will give your newcomers the success and confidence they need to learn English. 

The clear layout and routine week after week allow for increased confidence for both the teachers and students because they know what to expect every single week. The skills continually build on themselves and students are constantly practicing ESL grammar skills and vocabulary in multiple ways throughout the week. The hands-on, holistic approach allows language learning to happen in a natural, engaging way, which allows students to progress quickly and with excitement.

Teaching a student English when they have no prior experience can be challenging, but it doesn't have to be when you have step-by-step, daily ESL lesson plans and activities to guide you. This ESL Newcomer curriculum bundle features over 1,000 pages of in-depth ELL newcomer activities for your students at all levels of language learning.

Why this program?

I know what it's like to be unsure of how to support your ELL students. In my early years of teaching, I oftentimes didn't know how to support my ELL students either, nor did I have the time to give them the materials they desperately needed. Instead, I would end up giving them a worksheet in hopes they could at least learn a few vocabulary words. After receiving my ESL endorsement and working with ELL students for many years, I have become passionate about giving ELL students ample opportunities to learn while also supporting teachers by creating a more engaging curriculum for ELL Learners.

This program goes way beyond the typical worksheet. It incorporates weekly rich vocabulary lessons, along with an interactive grammar notebook activity, speaking games, authentic reading and writing opportunities, and an extra practice opportunity for homework. Daily lesson plans are provided so even a teacher assistant or parent volunteer can offer support. The most important piece of this curriculum is seeing the joy on students' faces when they begin to recognize vocabulary and speak sentences in a new language.
