ELLs or English Language Learners are one of the fastest growing groups among the school aged population. As a subgroup in the K-12 population, these students raise challenges for educators who often mistake good conversational skills for English proficiency. However, studies have shown that since many of these ELL students have been enrolled in U.S. schools since a young age, by upper elementary level, they no longer have a formal designation to receive support. Often they have strong conversational skills but tend to lack mastery of academic language necessary for success with academic text. Often ELL students struggle with vocabulary, reading, syntax, and writing.
