Evaluating Materials for ELL

One of the most difficult tasks for a general education or ELL teacher in assisting English language learners is selecting appropriate materials for them. It can be difficult to assess reading programs, content area texts and fiction and non-fiction literature. Below I have included a rubric I used in my ELL certification class to evaluate materials for instructional use. I have also included a chart with three sources that I evaluated (1) a content area text (2) a fiction text and (3) a non-fiction text.
