The Academic Language Notebooks:
The Language of Math

Reviews and Testimonials

“The Academic Language Notebooks provide a clear pathway for connecting the language of mathematics with the content and skills needed for academic success. A variety of instructional strategies— including scaffolding language complexity and using cognates—coupled with hands-on activities, offer multiple opportunities for students to access meaning and gain a deep understanding of the concepts. What an incredible and much-needed resource for educators working with English language learners!”

“Learning content in a new language is a challenge for English language learners. Materials such as the Academic Language Notebooks provide ELLs with an exceptional, high quality opportunity to develop the academic language needed for attaining high standards. Not only do students have an opportunity to learn vocabulary and other language needed for academics, they also acquire important strategies that build a foundation for success.”

“The Academic Language Notebooks are explicit and user-friendly and the lessons are visually engaging and clear. This is the supplemental academic English instruction series we’ve been looking for to assist staff in our high intensity, pull-out, and integrated models of Structured English Immersion.”
