Here’s a look at the most popular places visitors stopped to read and interact on this website in 2022. 

6. PWIM It’s no surprise that the 6th most visited place was to read and learn more about the Picture Word Inductive Model. This is truly a powerhouse strategy, so teachers of all content areas from pre-K to post-secondary read about it and implemented it in their work with MLs.

5. The Science of Reading and Balanced Literacy: This one didn’t astonish me either since many states and schools are pushing to implement harsh monolingual-focused policies. ML teachers are concerned and want to know how to best serve the unique needs of students who know more than one singular language.

Historically, English learners’ first languages have been underutilized in classrooms, so it’s great news that teachers want to learn more about including all languages in classrooms.

1. The most visited article was Stems or Sentence Frames. This one took me by surprise!

It’s great to see that as a community we are curious about increasing the power of such simple tools.
