Writing for newcomers with visuals - ESL

Get your newcomer English learners writing! Great daily writing practice for the classroom teacher or ESL teacher to use with newcomer English learners. In this resource, you get 49 writing pages with sentence stems and visual supports on each page, plus 6 blank writing pages for kids who need extra space or more practice. There are three different levels of writing pages to differentiate for ELs at different grade levels or who may need more or less support for their writing. Topics include: -actions -likes/dislikes -foods -animals -school objects -winter objects -outdoor objects -emotions -weather -clothing …and more! This resource is specifically designed for newcomers and struggling learners, so I often use it in place of other activities during writing workshop so that students are still writing and practicing skills in English with a more appropriate resource. This has been one of the most helpful resources for my beginning ESL students at all levels!
