Where do you start with low-literacy learners? And, especially, where do you start if your low-literacy learners are mixed in with students who ARE literate in their home language?

This video gives a quick tip for the first step: identifying any students who may have low literacy in their first language. If you'd like to know more, please reach out at [email protected].
