| | | | Dear AdLit Beat Readers,
E.E. Cummings writes that, “It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.” Adolescence is a big part of that development. Young adults are ripe for validation, opportunities to make their own choices, develop authentic relationships, and to think critically about the world around them. We are grateful for your continued support of adolescent readers, writers, and thinkers as they begin to realize who they are and what good they can do in the world. Speak soon,

| Creating Text-Dependent Questions (TDQs) for ELLs: Examples for 6th-8th Grade How do you create text-dependent questions that specifically support ELs' growing understanding? The authors use a 6th-8th grade science text to walk you through their process for developing TDQs, as well as scaffolds and supports that ELLs at different levels of English language proficiency could use to answer the TDQs and unlock the meaning of the text. |
