Description

ESL Newcomer Activities – Vocabulary Workbooks – Independent Practice

This ESL vocabulary workbook for newcomers BUNDLE builds everyday tier 1 vocabulary for beginning English language learners. Activities and worksheets are structured and designed so that students are able to complete them independently, with minimal teacher support.

During independent class time, beginning ELs need meaningful activities to work on. This resource provides students with exposure to, and practice with, basic everyday vocabulary. Incorporate the activities into small group instruction for additional support in building receptive and expressive English language skills.

The activities are highly visual and intentionally structured so students with entering & emerging English language proficiency levels can work independently with minimal teacher support—making this resource ideal for gen-ed classrooms, workshop time, as well as ESL pull-out and push-in.

🗨️ WHAT TEACHERS ARE SAYING

Reviews from verified TPT purchasers ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have used this product/bundle with newcomers for a couple of years now, and it is so well-designed. Students really enjoy it, and it is great that it can be worked on independently once students get the hang of it.

My newcomer students love this vocabulary packet. It is very clearly explained, and it is a fun way for them to learn basic vocabulary.

I used this for 2 students who literally came straight from Mexico and had NO English language skills! Perfect!

If you’re looking for a structured, visual way to support newcomer language development, this resource is for you!
