I work with a small population of English Language Learners at an public charter school in Missouri that primarily serves students from low-income families. My students are in kindergarten through sixth grade. These students, who speak a language other than English at home, represent less than 5 percent of the school's total enrollment. That means my students — who this year speak either Spanish or Swahili at home — might enter school as the only child in their class that doesn't speak English natively. He or she might be the only child in a class that can't count to 10 in English, or the only child that doesn't understand a teacher's directions on the first day of school. My English Language Learners, even those in the upper elementary grades, need basic instruction in phonics to help them develop the English proficiency to succeed in school and perform at the same level as their native English-speaking peers.
