An important pillar of reading comprehension is background knowledge. Some of our multilingual learners of English (MLEs) will come with the required background knowledge needed to meet their learning objectives, and others will need to learn new content and further develop their background knowledge.

For many of us, summer is the time when we have dreams of sitting poolside and reading trashy novels, allowing our brains to reset after another full year of delivering lessons, helping students with their homework, making sure we complete all the testing required by our districts, volunteering on steering committees, and basically anything else that comes our way. Yes, summer is a great time to recharge the batteries, but we all know it doesn’t last forever.
