ELL - English Language Learners

All students need strong reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills in their first AND second languages. Using the Colorado-adopted WIDA standards and “Can-Do” model, students use reading strategies, writing rubrics and speaking and listening activities grow. We have a wide diversity of students who are part of a dynamic classroom that is based on collaboration and authentic communication. Relevant experiences, like field work and guest speakers, allow English language learners at DHS to write and read, listen and speak in community-based situations, helping them bridge from English practice to English fluency.

Todos los estudiantes necesitan las habilidades de escribir, escuchar, hablar, y leer en primer Y segundo idioma. Por lo tanto, la família es muy importante para apoyar el español; juntos podemos trabajar para tener éxito en inglés y en el processo de convertirnos en bilingües y biculturales.
