ESL LiteracyESL literacy learners are adults who are learning to speak English at the same time as they are learning to read and write for the first time. They are not readily able to use reading to learn and are, instead, struggling to learn to read.

• In a mainstream ESL classroom, the learner is expected to “pick up written English as they learn oral English,” where the teacher presents the new vocabulary or ideas orally and then quickly moves to the textbook or worksheet to reinforce the new material. (Wrigley, 2008)
• Literacy learners often lack basic academic concepts and “common knowledge.”
• Literacy ESL learners are often left behind, not having the basic concepts, being unable to use reading to learn and instead struggling to learn to read.

Literacy Continuum
• ESL literacy is a continuum• Learners at the beginning (Foundation Phase)
are learning that print conveys meaning• Learners at the other end of the continuum
(Phase III) read basic information but may need support with strategies, format and inference
