Great book.
Best book I’ve gotten since starting ENL endorsement. Simple, cohesive, applicable. Easy to read. Great reference that I use weekly.

Every Good Teacher Needs This Toolbox!!!
As a newer teacher in the field of ESL, I don’t have my personal toolbox filled of strategies to help my kiddos. This book provides teachers, new and seasoned alike, with a multitude of strategies in the four domains. These strategies are kid tested and approved. Some were geared towards the older kids, but I found ways to adapt it to my younger students.This book gives you 45 instructional strategies, from book talks, interactive word walls, concept attainment and inductive learning to error correction, games, TPR, and differentiation. A big favorite too is the beginning and end of the year strategies. I’ve been implementing many strategies already with my kiddos and they’ve been very engaged (always tricky at the end of the school year!)This book is helpful to me as an ESL teacher, but I wish I had this when I was a classroom teacher for 8 years and had no idea what to do what a beginning English Learner was plopped in my class! I think any classroom teacher would benefit as well reading this, because let’s face it – all students are language learners!For the techy teachers out there, the authors have included many links on each strategy as well as a chapter to tech in the classroom as well. Larry Ferlazzo has a great website too, which you should definitely visit!!

Great for teaching strategies
I use this when I run out of fresh ideas for activities / strategies to use in class.

Amazing
This toolbox is a life saver. The way the author explains each and mentioned how it can be aligned to CCSS is a plus. Every ELL and ESL or EFOL teacher should have this.

Helpful for ELL teachers
I bought this for my CLAD credential class, and Iâve continued to use it after receiving my credential. It has great activities, ideas, supports, and scaffolds. A must for teachers who have any EL students!

It’s BIG!
I have a love/hate relationship with the size of this book. It’s great that it has lots of space in the margins and large font making it very easy to read, but it is certainly not portable. I would love for another edition to come out that’s printed on thinner paper with smaller text. I could do without the “what could go wrong” section entirely. It would save a lot of space and lighten the book significantly. I think some minor tweaks to the general layout/structure of the chapters and this could be a perfect resource for all teachers of English learners.

Speed and Quality
I love Amazon’s service in delivering this book so quickly. I had it in my hands the next day and I placed the order at night. The book is very informative, detailed but simple enough to follow the recommendations provided. The ESL Team that I supervise will start a book study with this resource to maximize our time with students that would benefit from different strategies suggested in the book. Thanks for offering this “toolbox” for teachers of English Language Learners. I love that the research behind each strategy is presented individually in each section. It’s an amazing collection for any teacher. Thank you!

Made my Bookshelf!
I put this book on the part of my bookshelf where I have easy access. The title is so appropriate! It IS a toolbox for ELs and every teacher should have one. Indeed there are hundreds of practical ideas. Ferlazzo and Sypnieski have been working with ELLs for years and make it so simple for teachers to understand. For example, the authors explain each strategy; explain why the strategy is effective; and discuss the research.Thank you.Dr. Jim Ewing (Author of “Math for ELLs. As Easy as Uno, Dos, Tres.”

This is the best ELL reference book I’ve found on amazon. The book takes a holistic view of different methodologies, reinforces each example with recent academic sources, and provides sample handouts in each section. I have found it very useful! Would recommend.

Provides the “why” for strategies provided and everything is research based. Lots of ready to use materials.

The book is exactly what I was looking for, but didn’t arrive in very good condition. Sadly I don’t have time to return it as the school year is about to begin. Disappointing.
