2. Develop academic language in the context of content-area instruction. 
3. Provide visual and verbal supports to make core content comprehensible. 
4. Encourage peer-assisted learning opportunities.
5. Capitalize on students’ home language, knowledge, and cultural assets. 
6. Screen for language and literacy challenges and monitor progress.
7. Provide small-group academic support in literacy and English-language development for students.
