520 |a The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) Practice Guide, "Effective Literacy and English Language Instruction for English Learners in the Elementary Grades" addresses the challenge of providing effective literacy instruction for English learners in the elementary grades. The Guide offers five specific recommendations for district administrators and indicates the quality of the evidence that supports these recommendations. The recommendations are: (1) Screen for reading problems and monitor progress; (2) Provide intensive small-group reading interventions; (3) Provide extensive and varied vocabulary instruction; (4) Develop academic English; and (5) Schedule regular peer-assisted learning opportunities. This document provides a summary of Recommendation 5: Schedule regular peer-assisted learning opportunities. The recommendation suggests that English learners should be provided with 90 minutes a week to participate in peer learning. Pairs should include students who have different English proficiencies or ability levels. Peer learning should provide time for English learners to practice and extend their learning. This summary provides steps to carry out the recommendation and identifies potential roadblocks and suggests ways to address them.
