This book supports educators in teaching academic writing skills to Newcomer English Learners (ELs) who are just beginning their English language learning journey.

Newcomer ELs typically have minimal familiarity with the English alphabet, which can be an obstacle for them when learning writing, phonics, and spelling in English. Drawing on research and classroom‑tested methods, this book provides teachers practical strategies to help Newcomers start writing earlier, mastering letter-sound correspondence, and gaining confidence to write their thoughts in English. Readers will learn how to seamlessly integrate EL-targeted strategies and personalized literacy instruction into writing workshops to accelerate Newcomer’s acquisition of English phonics, spelling, and writing skills. These adaptable strategies also benefit world language teachers seeking effective ways to teach writing and literacy to beginners on any language learning journey.

Built on the author’s instructional coaching expertise and observations of field testing by practicing teachers, this is an excellent resource for English as a Second Language (ESL) educators and instructional coaches to promote faster and better literacy acquisition for their Newcomers and other beginner language learners.
