A majority of my students are English Language Learners and have a limited English proficiency. Spanish is the primary language at home for most, and coming from economically disadvantaged home environments with multiple siblings, many simply have not had the exposure to reading and literature that allow for proper language development. While they have a basic knowledge of the English language, their academic vocabulary and ability to comprehend grade-level texts are very low. Fifth grade is a critical year in Texas, where if students do not pass the Reading STAAR test (the state standardized test), they will not graduate to sixth grade. We are working constantly on developing vocabulary, but without readily available resources (like dictionaries), my students are struggling and frustrated while they try to read words that they just don't understand.
