Honest question for ELL teachers.

Which of these scaffolding strategies do you use most consistently in your classroom? 🤔

Sentence frames — they are in every lesson. 🏗️
Graphic organizers — I use them for writing and reading. 📊
Visual supports — I try to pair every new word with an image. 🖼️
Pre-teaching vocabulary — I front-load key words before the lesson. 📚
Modeling and think-alouds — I do this before students attempt tasks. 🎤

And which one do you think you should be using more? 👀

Drop your answers below. 💬
