Overwhelming Response from Reviewers!
“I think this is an excellent resource for ELA teachers… Many teachers struggle with writing lesson plans and implementing SIOP- this gives them a boost by demonstrating for them how to go through that process effectively!”
- Karen Fichter, Vena Wilburn Year Round Elementary School, Raleigh NC
“The book is an outstanding example of collaborative effort. We have seen several other publications by Echevarria, Short, and Vogt; however this volume invites practitioners to contribute in a most meaningful way: through sharing outstanding examples of SIOP Unit plans.”
- Dr. Andrea Honigsfeld, Molloy College, Rockville Center
