Scaffolded reading experiences provide a practical, research-based framework that teachers can use to support their English language learners. The Scaffolded Reading Experience framework consists of a set of Prue-, during-, and postreading activities to use with any genre of texts. Prereading strategies include building background knowledge, providing text-specific knowledge, preteaching vocabulary and concepts, prequestioning and predicting, and using students' native language. During-reading strategies include silent reading, reading to students, and guided reading. Postreading strategies include discussion, building connections, and writing and/or artistic activities. The authors also discuss the complexities of reading in a new language and what teachers can do to help their English language learners master both reading and content. (Contains 1 figure.)
