Thematic Units

Thematic Units give meaningful context to develop language and concepts.

Research shows that ELLs learn best with simultaneous instruction in language, literacy, and content. Themes enable students to reuse and recycle vocabulary and concepts so they learn faster and retain more.

Rigby On Our Way to English Thematic Units connect:

• Oral language to the content area theme.
• Literacy skills to (and through) shared reading and writing.
