The Growing Need for Resources to Help ELL Students
Over the past 15 years, ELL student enrollment has nearly doubled.
![Page 7: Colorin Colorado_ TESOL 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/555127ccb4c905325d8b473c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Face of America
• Nearly 80% of the five million ELLs enrolled in Schools are Spanish-speaking Latinos.
• The U.S. Census Bureau projects by 2050:– the Hispanic school-age population will increase by 166% – the non-Hispanic school-age population will increase by 4%.*
*Pew Hispanic Center, 2008.

Challenges Facing ELLs
Achievement GapLess Academically Challenging and
College Preparatory CourseworkLack of Access to Specialized and
Content InstructionCommunication/Information Barrier for
FamiliesIncreased Family Responsibilities

Why is the AFT so concerned with this issue?
![Page 10: Colorin Colorado_ TESOL 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/555127ccb4c905325d8b473c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
ELLs still tend to be concentrated in urban school districts such as: • Boston• Corpus Christi• Houston• Hartford• Los Angeles• New York City• Miami• San Antonio
And rapidly growing in smaller cities like:
• Hammond, IN• Dalton, GA• Durham, NC

Questions from Teachers
• Does it help if my ELLs know how to read in Spanish?
• I have a variety of levels in my ESL class. How do I differentiate instruction?
• Do you have any strategies for teaching ELLs word problems?
• How can I communicate with parents who do not speak English?
![Page 12: Colorin Colorado_ TESOL 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/555127ccb4c905325d8b473c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
ColorinColorado.org was successful in providing great information for parents, but we knew something was missing…
Information for educators!
![Page 13: Colorin Colorado_ TESOL 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/555127ccb4c905325d8b473c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
So, the Reading Rockets Project of PBS Station WETA and AFT decided to collaborate to create practical, online, research-based information for educators on how to teach English Language Learners to read, learn, and succeed in the classroom…
![Page 14: Colorin Colorado_ TESOL 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/555127ccb4c905325d8b473c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
It was the start of a beautiful partnership!

Why is it called Colorín Colorado?
Most Spanish-speakers recognize the playful phrase “colorín colorado” from the verse that many children and adults say after reading or sharing a story: “¡Y colorín, colorado, este cuento se ha acabado! ” (This story has ended!)
Those who grew up speaking Spanish often smile when they hear the name of our site, because the verse brings back happy memories of childhood for people of all ages.

English/Spanish Cognates
Cognates are words in two languages that have a similar meaning, spelling, and pronunciation.
30-40% of all words in English have a Spanish cognate.
Colorín Colorado provides a number of resources and activities to help you use cognates as a bridge for your ELLs, including a list of more than 300 English/Spanish cognates.

How you can help spread the word:
Tell your colleagues about it! Join us on Facebook, Twitter, or Ning! Hold a workshop or event at your school or center. Incorporate Colorín Colorado into an already-existing
professional development program. Post a link on your school, school district, or
departmental website. Send a mass email via your school, union, school
district, or other professional association groups. Spread the word to parents - they can access the site
in Spanish!
