English Language Learners


Raise ELL Student Achievement

English Language Learners (ELLs) are an exceptionally diverse group, especially when it comes to education. The variations in cultural and language backgrounds, level of education, and English language proficiency call for an education plan as unique as the individual. Research shows that technology, specifically Kurzweil 3000, can make a significant difference in supporting ELL development of decoding and fluency skills. Additionally, tools within Kurzweil 3000 can be used to help ELL students learn using the same curriculum as their peers.
