What does the most current neuroscience research say about teaching reading comprehension, vocabulary development and reading fluency to students whose first language is not English? Using Mind-Brain-Health-Education (MBHE) science principles, neurobiology of bilingualism and biliteracy research, and four decades of teaching experience with Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CLD) students as her foundation, Jo Gusman will provide teachers and administrators with neuroscience-based effective reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and reading fluency frameworks, processes and strategies, specifically developed for English learners at all levels of English language proficiency.
