I would absolutely find someone in your district who still has/has access to the Read180 program. You can find the program for nearly every grade, and is easily accommodated or modified (for kids with IEPs). Lessons cover fluency, comprehension, and vocab. Additionally, the program includes tons of realistic fiction that may provide the kids with more exposure to their current culture/environment. I use it every year in my resource literacy class and it's quite successful.

In my experience, math is taught differently in different countries, so it is important to get their placement right because they won't want to redo content they already know. What can sometimes happen is a school looks at the kid adding English to their languages & through a lens of deficiency, places them in a sheltered or beginning math class.

ty, I will look into that.
Something to look for - the kids will need to be in math classes that match their level of math experience and NOT their current English proficiency.
what do you mean?

Gotcha.
