Wait — before you go, I have something for you.
You just downloaded 5 simple routines that make ELL progress actually stick. Here’s the next thing teachers ask me:
“Which routine should I start with?”
My answer is always the same: Speaking + Writing Cards.
It’s hands-down my favorite — and easiest — routine to get set up. Print it. Put it in front of your students. They start producing language immediately. No prep, no decisions, no figuring out what to do next.
Inside, you’ll find:
✓ A full year of speaking and writing prompts ready to use
✓ Differentiated for K-8 so it works for any grade level
✓ Aligned to language proficiency levels
✓ Print-and-go format (zero prep)
✓ The exact routine I use to build student speaking and writing confidence in weeks, not years
If you take just ONE routine from the free guide and run it consistently — make it this one. Get the cards. Run the routine. Watch what happens.
