Sometimes the language skills our children from low income backgrounds bring don’t always match the language information load of the classroom. We can increase contextualization in the classroom to support learning through a variety of strategies such as hands on learning, group tasks and reciprocal learning as well as opportunities for individual exploration. Strategies that can be used outside the classroom are also provided. Find the other modules in this series below:
