A silent newcomer in Sept is not a blank slate. They are deciding if your room feels safe.
Before assuming they don't understand:
1. Give them a nonverbal way to participate
2. Check what they can do in their first language
3. Notice if they're watching or avoiding

Who uses recasting with their ELLs?
I think many ELL teachers do this naturally...
Recasting is a strategy where teachers restate something a student said with:
- the correct way of saying something
- or a clearer way of saying something
So wonderful to see these hardworking student moving further along in their language journeys! Bravo Madame DeVault!
