WELLS: Working With English Language Learners The WELLS program is a transition to English program. It can help teachers, dyslexia specialists, special educators and speech and language therapists to provide a systematic and explicit approach for teaching English language and literacy skills to Spanish-speaking English language learners. The program addresses an evidence-based approach to literacy by including the 5 components of literacy. 1. Phonological Awareness These lessons are designed to address the 22 new sounds of English which are particularly helpful for Spanish-speaking ELs 2. Phonics Lessons are designed to address the cross-linguistic transfer points between Spanish and English. 3. Fluency Reading fluency activities are included for Spanish-speaking ELs. Each reading fluency practice begins with a warm-up for reading words, phrases, and sentences. The components of language are woven into the reading fluency lessons. 4. Vocabulary Vocabulary activities are provided and include words which are similar in English and Spanish. The lessons are designed around thematic units which make it easier for students to learn words. 5. Comprehension Students have the opportunity to use the WOW program for increasing word and world knowledge, as well as oral language and comprehension skills.
