English Language Development (ELD) Lessons

For emergent multilinguals we have a dedicated ELD lesson library that pairs podcasts and video for multimodal instruction. ELD lesson materials are available in English and Spanish and are specifically designed for students with lower English proficiency. As students progress in their English language proficiency, teachers can choose lessons from our elementary and secondary lesson collections.
