Now that I have the floor, I’d like to give my two cents on our Idioms series. Here’s the scoop: In the English language, idioms are a dime a dozen. We’re up to our ears in them! Native speakers are old hand at incorporating idioms into conversation, but ELL students are often behind the eight ball. When they hear these silly expressions, they must think we’re off our rockers. These students are probably tearing their hair out trying to understand what we mean! To make a long story short: Idioms are fun for us, but they’re driving our ELL students up the wall.

Don’t leave them to sink or swim. Read Naturally’s Idioms series will help your ELL students get ahead of the game. This Read Naturally strategy series helps ELL students improve their reading fluency and teaches common idioms such as “spill the beans” and “pinch pennies.” Each level includes extra audio and vocabulary support designed specifically as a shot in the arm for students learning the English language. For your ELL students, this series is a no-brainer. Soon they’ll be head and shoulders above the rest, no longer banging their heads against a brick wall as they lend an ear to their English-speaking peers.
