EDITORIAL REVIEW

The Perfect Companion to Making Content Comprehensible for English Learners: The SIOP(R) Model!!! This long-awaited new book by acclaimed authors MaryEllen Vogt and Jana Echevarria offers research-based, SIOP(R)-tested techniques for lessons that include the eight SIOP(R) components. The 99 ideas and activities in this book include a few familiar techniques that have been shown to be especially effective for ELLs, as well as many new ideas for SIOP(R) teachers. All promote student-to-student and teacher-to-student interaction and involvement proven to be so necessary for English language acquisition and content development. This book is surely to become an indispensable resource for teachers of English learners. Overwhelming response from reviewers! "[T]he strategies in [the book] are useful for any classroom teacher. It supports everything teachers learn in SIOP in a concrete, easy-to-follow format. While obviously it would be best to use in conjunction with the SIOP model, some of the strategies could also be used in isolation to improve teaching practice as well. Teachers are always looking for ways to "beef up" their classroom instruction--this book gives them what they want!" --Karen Fichter, Zebulon GT Magnet Middle School, NC "This book would help to answer so many of the questions that teachers have about how to enhance their teaching. This textbook would be a welcome addition to our program and would be one of those books that teachers would keep and use for a long time after they complete their graduate course work." --Julia S. Austin, University of Alabama at Birmingham What makes 99 Ideas and Activities for Teaching English Learners with the SIOP(R) Model a must-have? *Offers step-by-step directions and examples of content and language objectives for all ideas and activities. *Provides use-tomorrow ideas and activities for implementing the eight components of the SIOP(R) Model. *Includes 12 sample lesson plans that illustrate how a particular activity can be effective for ALL students, and all of these sample lessons are adapted for both elementary and secondary students. *Features classroom-ready content and language objectives for all relevant activities.

Great Teacher Resource
~ Written on Jun 22, 2009. 4 out of 4 users found this review helpful.

I was required to take an ELL course a few years ago. This course focused on the SIOP method and used Making Content Comprehensible for English Learners: The SIOP Model (3rd Edition) (SIOP Series) as its textbook. I purchased the book that is being reviewed because I felt it would be a good companion to the original.

Well, I was right. This book has so many wonderful, practical ideas that I can use throughout the school year. Not only will I use these ideas for my ELL students, but for all my students as well. I particularly like the numerous ways to build background before teaching a new topic. This is an area which is so important but many teachers tend to overlook.

I recommend this book and the SIOP method for any teacher who has ELL students in the classroom and must comply with state requirements.

Lots of good ideas

I bought this book to go with a 5-day, 45-clock-hour SEI course. We've actually done some of the activities in class and the majority require planning, but not too much prep time. The book is well-written and organized in a logical fashion. A good resource for teachers who deal with a lot of ELL students (like here in central AZ.)

Great resource, glad I bought it!

I bought this item for class and have found it a very good resource. It is an easy to read book and easy to follow. The activities would be great not only for ELLs, but for all students. I highly recommend this book.

Love it!

This book is like the bible for teaching ESL!!! There are 99 strategies (hence the title) that each have content and language objectives (when appropriate). LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!

I haven't tried all 99 strategies, but the strategies that I have selected have helped me to implement the SIOP model. This has led to an improvement in instruction and student engagement for not only ELL students, but ALL learners.
