Making Content Comprehensible for English Learners: The SIOP Model (SIOP Series)

This book was assigned for a grad school class. In the book it has a spot for embedded videos. However, you can only access them if you have the ebook. The hard copy does not provide the url for the videos.

I’m knocking off several stars NOT for the content, but for the way the book is manufactured. I need this book for a class and bought it brand new. After reading the book for 30 minutes I saw that the pages were coming out! I have NEVER had this happen before and, reading previous reviews, I see that I’m not the only one it’s happened to. Not ok!

Satisfied with the content and happy with the price of the digital version; however, the links do not work and the page layout appears to be off.

Some highlighting as advertised. Book arrived as promised in great condition.

Is the book that I have requested and paid for.

The media could not be loaded.  Bought a brand new book but the edges are slightly torn. The outside package was ok so I think the problem isn’t because of the delivery. Not as satisfied, but since I’m a oversea customer it takes too much time to return, I decide to keep it. :(

I had to get this book for a class I'm taking to clear my credential. This is the only book from all the textbooks that I've had to get for my clear credential program that I really want to keep and continue to use as a resource. It's given me some very useful strategies for teaching various levels of English learners. I rented it but now I am going to purchase one. My rented copy was a nearly new version of the book with regular binding (not separate pages like another reviewer received). if you're really serious about helping your English learners gain academic language, get this book. I teach kindergarten and found many strategies. The teaching examples are from older grades.

For anyone who has English learners in your class (and this includes K all the way up through higher ed), this is the book to have. The SIOP model has been used for years with great success. The explanations are clear with good examples. I especially like how they go through one component with all its features and then give sample lesson plans for you to rate. I've used this when teaching a university class on Diversity and Language Acquisition. The future teachers in my classes feel that they are better equipped to deal with English learners in their classes now. I encourage all teachers to either take a class in the SIOP model or get the book and work on it yourself.
