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. 🏗️

Visual supports — I try to pair every new word with an image. 🖼️
Pre-teaching vocabulary — I front-load key words before the lesson. 📚
