3What does Common Core say about ELLs?ELLs who are literate in a
first language that shares cognates with English can apply
first-language vocabulary knowledge when reading in English;
likewise ELLs with high levels of schooling can often bring to bear
conceptual knowledge developed in their first language when reading
in English. However, ELLs with limited or interrupted schooling
will need to acquire background knowledge prerequisite to
educational tasks at hand. Application of Common Core Standards for

19What do CCSS mean for ELLs? It is unreasonable to expect ELLS
to perform comparably to their native English-speaking peers in
their initial years of schooling The problem enters when students
are not pushed to go beyond this stage over time, are presumed to
be at an elementary level, or are misdiagnosed as having
educational disabilities by teachers unfamiliar with the needs of
ELLs. Joseph Laturnau, 200120
