This guide is intended to be used by general education teachers, reading 
specialists, English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers, special 
education teachers, and teachers seeking an additional resource for 
classroom activities. This guide is intended to be both flexible and 
versatile. Its use is to be determined by teachers in order to fit the unique 
circumstances and specific needs of their classrooms and individual 
students. Teachers whose students would benefit from enhanced oral 
language practice may opt to use the Transition Supplemental Guide as 
their primary guide for Listening & Learning. Teachers may also choose 
individual activities from the Transition Supplemental Guide to augment 
the content covered in the Tell It Again! Read-Aloud Anthology. For 
example, teachers might use the Vocabulary Instructional Activities, 
Syntactic Awareness Activities, and modified Extensions during smallgroup instruction time. Reading specialists and ESL teachers may find 
that the tiered Vocabulary Charts are a useful starting point in addressing 
their students’ vocabulary learning needs.
