Measuring Up for English Language Learners: Preparing Students for the NYSESLAT

Grades 1–8

An integrated approach to language acquisition

Developed to assist students acquiring English to successfully meet the Targets of Measurement (ToMs) as assessed on the NYSESLAT.

Instructional lessons target the five Performance Level Descriptors (PLDs) and offer an integrated approach to language acquisition. Each of the four areas, reading, speaking, listening, and writing, are integrated throughout each lesson. Lessons include explicit instruction using paired literacy and informational passages. The student editions form the backbone of learning with unparalleled teacher support.
