“Making Content Comprehensible is very practical and right on target for strategies in the field of ELLs.”
Professor Gerald McCain, Southern Oregon University
“What clearly distinguishes Making Content Comprehensible from others in the field is that it provides an easy-to-use, powerful, field-tested protocol for effective lesson planning, delivery and assessment.”
Professor Karen L. Newman, Indiana University
