I have been supporting a newcomer during whole-group reading (CKLA). There are times when the students read a page or two independently. The teacher has told me a couple times in as many days that the kids should be reading independently when he hears me reading with/to the student. The student I work with is essentially a non-English speaker/reader and the support I give him is a necessary scaffold. He's a Level 1 (WIDA) & is not independently reading grade-level text. Advice how to respond?

You respond to the teacher. "Okay. The student barely understands "Good morning. How are you?" How do you propose to teach him how to read complex sentences - AT grade level - when he can barely process basic English?"

Ran out of characters... I'm asking for advice on how to assure the teacher that the support I am giving the student is not taking away from independent reading because my student is not yet an on-level independent reader. If I allowed the student to sit and try to read, the text would not be accessible to him. Even with certain scaffolds, comprehension is minimal. (But we are working on it!)

You’re right the WIDA one level students need what you are doing. That teacher needs a refresher… one teacher doesn’t undercut what you are doing so don’t sweat it.

Home reno financing question. Have a big project coming up in the $120-150k range. Funding sources are:

- 375k in a brokerage
- 5-6k per month cash that I can put towards the project, loans, or brokerage
