How does Phonics, Reading, and Me support multilingual learners?

Phonics, Reading, and Me supports multilingual learners through teacher-led small groups that provide a supportive space for listening and learning, a chance to mirror the models of their teacher, and focus on reading skills alongside others at similar stages of literacy development. Every Phonics, Reading, and Me lesson includes “If Needed-Multilingual Support” for before, during, and after reading. Use of these suggestions not only expands on the assets of multilingual learners and provides the steps they need to be successful, but also build teacher knowledge on the differences and similarities in language development between multilingual learners and monolingual students to help educators understand how they can support the language development of both groups.
