ALSO! Low-Intermediate 4 to Intermediate 2 Major Updates:

We've completed updates for ALL of the Low-Intermediate 4 ~ Intermediate 2 vocabulary, grammar, literacy lessons & discussion lessons.

10 Brand New Vocabulary Themes Have Just Been Added to the Kid-Inspired ESL Curriculum Membership!

They include:

1.  Math Symbols 
2.  Furniture 
3.  Ocean Vocabulary 
4.  Habitats 
5.  Famous World Monuments 
6.  African Countries 
7.  Central & South American Countries

These can be used in a wide variety of ways including themed dictionaries, writing, history, current events, and much more.

You can find these new vocabulary themes by going to Scaffolds -> Vocab Themes or by visiting Low-Intermediate 2. Many of these themes are connected with new science and social studies fluency readers that have also recently been released.

ALSO...

• You may also have noticed some big changes around the membership site, especially on the account page. We've completed a major overhaul of our subscription billing and account platform to make it easier than ever for you to manage your membership.
• I've also managed to get the Search Bar into the header of the site to make it easier to search for resources. Search on the site is still limited by indexing of resources though so be sure to try alternate key words or a broader term if you're not finding what you're searching for.
• A smaller fix has been made to the Sort by Grammar Objective Page based on the feedback from one of our amazing teachers. The filters weren't working quite as expected.

We've just updated the WIDA ACCESS Prep Resources page with new resources. Here's what's new:

• WIDA Testing Schedule Planner
• WIDA ACCESS Test Tracking Sheet
• Guide to How to Prepare ELLs for the WIDA ACCESS Test

Most of these resources will also work well for ELPA21, ELPAC, & TELPAS preparation!

These new resources are in addition to all of the great resources already there. Check them all out at the link below:
