Comprehensible Instruction

… it is important for  PLURAL NOUN not to  VERB their ELs have sufficient  ADJECTIVE language proficiency to benefit from instruction. Previously, Harry and Klingner (2015)  PAST TENSE VERB literacy instruction in classrooms with ELs at  ADJECTIVE levels of English proficiency and noted that some  PLURAL NOUN almost exclusively provided  ADJECTIVE explanations without the visual  NOUN or other scaffolding that might have helped their  NOUN be more comprehensible to  PLURAL NOUN. It was obvious to the  PLURAL NOUN that many students did not  VERB, yet teachers were likely to  VERB students for “not listening” or “not paying attention.”
