This text contains the most important feature I look for-research-based, accessible, applicable information... I love this text for its simplicity and providing a basic understanding. Annmarie Urso Ella Cline Shear School of Education State University of New York at Geneseo This book goes into great detail giving examples and what RTI is for an ELL, explaining different modeling that could be used...The first overall strength is that this book supports teachers with so many accommodations and modifications for ELLs. Another strength is that it helps teachers distinguish a disability from a possible cultural and linguistic difference. Susan D. Tillery Clermont Elementary Clermont, Florida
