Description

From day one, communication matters. These newcomer communication boards are designed to help multilingual learners, ESL students, and newcomer ELLs communicate needs, choices, and routines—before they have the English language to do so.

This set includes 4 ready-to-use communication boards (School, Classroom, Cafeteria, Recess) with high-quality black-and-white icons for clear visuals, low-ink printing, and easy classroom use. Students can point to express wants and needs, while teachers use the same visuals to give directions and support understanding.
