Thank you for your interest in the education of New York's English Language Learners. November 2016 OBE-WL News
Dear Colleagues: Did you know that November is National Family Literacy Month? In support, we’re dedicating this E-news to resources geared toward family involvement. Start by letting families know that reading and speaking to their child in their native language is extremely beneficial to student learning. Children will take the language concepts being learned in that language and use it to support learning a new language. Upcoming Events
