Learning to read is the most critical skill needed to help students gain success in school and in life. I teach first grade in an urban school district in Iowa. Our population consists of around 40% English Language Learners, as well as a large percentage of low income students and some students with special needs. Many of our English Language Learners are refugee children who have come to Iowa from war torn countries. These students come to us without any previous experience with letters and books.
