Give English Learners the Tools They Need to Succeed and Thrive

Overcome Language Roadblocks for English Learners

Understanding how language works and "lives" is the key to unlocking proficiency for English learners. The Language Tree Online programs are fully aligned with the most recent ELD standards to keep the focus on language development.

Designed specifically for middle and high school English learners, our proven ELD programs feature age- and level-appropriate content. Scaffolded instruction together with video, visual and audio reinforcements make new concepts easier to grasp.

Our solutions can serve as supplemental tools, form the instructional foundation for your designated ELD time, or be used for extended learning opportunities. They are typically supported by Title III funding.

English Language Development (ELD) Level 1

ELD Level 1 is an English language development program for beginner-level ELs and Newcomers in the secondary grades. It includes standards-based online assessments and lessons, downloadable instructional routines, and a module on acculturation to support socio-emotional development.

• Provides teachers with a better understanding of each student's language gaps — all the way down to the individual skill level
• Accelerates English language proficiency progress with lessons aligned with the latest ELD standards, including WIDA, CA 2012 and TEKs
• Informs newcomer students about cultural norms, resources and useful vobulary to help them navigate their new school environment.

English Language Development (ELD) Level 2

After completing Level 1, or based on assessment results, students can move on to ELD Level 2. The Level 2 program for intermediate and long-term English learners (LTELs) helps prepare for re-designation. Emphasis is placed on writing and speaking skills, with writing practice and self-recording exercises.

• Standards-aligned assessments precisely identify the language issues that impede progress (particularly relevant for LTELs)
• Subject matter content, from Social Studies, Math, Sciences and Language Arts, are embedded in lessons to help students with academic language
• The robust digital curriculum lasts a full academic year when used with fidelity
