Practical Strategies For Accelerating the Literacy Skills and Content Learning of Your ESL Students: This handbook from Jo Gusman’s most requested workshop is constantly updated by Jo herself as she integrates research consistent with findings from the No Child Left Behind Act and practical ideas from her many years of teaching students from a multitude of linguistic backgrounds. Filled with graphic organizers, theories explained, ready-to-use ideas, and numerous resources, this handbook serves as an invaluable reference guide. (written by Jo Gusman)

From Laurel H. Elliot, ELL Department of Farmstead School in Alabama:

"I've been doing this for almost four years, yet I still don't have loads of time to look for new resources during my day. Jo has lessons in her handbook that I use DAILY. I LOVE THE BLUE BOOK! It stays right here by my lesson plans and I pull things from it all the time.

"Please tell Jo that I continue to use her techniques in my class, especially now that I have a brand new non NEP [Native English Proficient] student. Tell her that I think she is great, and she (and her blue book) and I teach English everyday here in Alabama."

Thank you for your kind words, Laurel, and keep up the great work! -Jo
