Abstract	The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) Practice Guide, "Effective Literacy and English Language Instruction for English Learners in the Elementary Grades" addresses the challenge of providing effective literacy instruction for English learners in the elementary grades. The Guide offers five specific recommendations for district administrators and indicates the quality of the evidence that supports these recommendations. The recommendations are: (1) Screen for reading problems and monitor progress; (2) Provide intensive small-group reading interventions; (3) Provide extensive and varied vocabulary instruction; (4) Develop academic English; and (5) Schedule regular peer-assisted learning opportunities. This document provides a summary of Recommendation 4: Develop academic English. The recommendation suggests that beginning in the primary grades, the development of academic English should be a main instructional goal for English learners. To support this goal, teachers need access to curricula resources in addition to relevant training and professional development opportunities. This summary provides steps to carry out the recommendation and identifies potential roadblocks and suggests ways to address them.
