Overwhelming Response from Reviewers!

I think this is an excellent resource for ELA teachers Many teachers struggle with writing lesson plans and implementing SIOP- this gives them a boost by demonstrating for them how to go through that process effectively!

The book is an outstanding example of collaborative effort. We have seen several other publications by Echevarria, Short, and Vogt; however this volume invites practitioners to contribute in a most meaningful way: through sharing outstanding examples of SIOP Unit plans.
