Theory and/or Research Underlying the Strategy
Differences in learning styles, developmental levels, reading levels, and levels of proficiency in academic English require a variety of materials to make content accessible and to build academic language skills. Providing visuals, video, and graphic organizers builds comprehensibility of instruction for ELLs (Echevarria, Vogt, & Short, 2003; Krashen, 1981), which increases the likelihood that instruction will be meaningful to students with different learning styles. Providing text at different reading levels makes readings more accessible to ELLs and builds academic language (Nation, 2008; Schmitt, 2008).
