EDLI636 ELL Writing Project: Assessment and Lesson Plan

This project, undertaken for EDLI636, focuses on the literacy development of two English Language Learners (EEL) students, one from second grade and another from seventh grade, through a literacy partnership approach. The project utilizes the Qualitative Reading Inventory 5 (QRI-5) to assess the students' reading skills, including word recognition, comprehension, and fluency. The assessment results are analyzed to identify strengths, weaknesses, and instructional levels. The project includes a teacher interview to understand challenges faced by EEL students. Based on the assessment, a lesson plan is developed, aligning with NYS P-12 Common Core Learning Standards ELA, to address the students' needs. The project also provides recommendations for teachers and parents to support the students' learning. The assessment results of the QRI-5 test are provided, including miscue analysis and comprehension levels. This project aims to enhance pre-service teachers' ability to use culturally responsive pedagogy and strategies to support EELs' learning.
