The ClearFluency programs provide a solid base for students to learn about and practice the English language. However, students who are not familiar with English idioms, cultural references, and vocabulary may have a few extra hurdles when learning the English language. With this in mind, Carnegie Learning, Inc. has developed a set of English Learner offline resources to supplement the ClearFluency programs.
Where are these resources found?

ClearFluency™ Offline Resources for English Learners: Elementary
What resources are provided?
The offline resources include individual, leveled lessons for the ClearFluency programs that provide targeted instruction for English Learners. The lessons are based on the SIOP® Model, with added differentiation for the Fast ForWord exercises. Many of the lessons provide writing tasks, including work with graphic organizers (for example, diagrams, tables, concept webs).
Which of the programs have resources?
With the exception of some new selections, most of the elementary selections in ClearFluency have resources, with multiple lessons for some of the longer and more complex selections.
Which students will benefit from the resources?
The offline resources were written with English Learners in mind, but are certainly not limited to those students. Feel free use them with any ClearFluency student that might benefit from a little extra practice. For example:
- Students who are new to our programs
- Students receiving intervention alerts in the Results reports
- Students classified as pre-emergent, emergent, beginning, developing, expanding, or bridging in English language
- Students being considered or progress-monitored for special educations services
- Students receiving services for special education, speech language pathology, or occupational therapy
Which staff members can use the resources?
- General education classroom teachers
- ELS teachers or ELL coordinators
- Special educators
- Speech language pathologists
- Occupational therapists
- School social workers or psychologists
When should I use the resources?
- Readers Workshop
- Writers Workshop
- Guided Reading
- ESL pullouts
- ELD/English Language Development blocks
- Intervention blocks
- Special education classes
- Occupational therapy sessions
- School psychologist/social worker sessions (with IEP or parent and administrator approval)
