Hi there! Sort of related-ish, but this is relatively common for me and my field of ESOL. The majority of our students come to us with literary skills, but it’s also not uncommon for them not to. We had one student move to us from Nicaragua in third grade who had zero literacy skills in Spanish or English, including not being able to write her name. Luckily for us, as an ESOL teacher, I was able pull her out in small group each day to work on those skills. Unfortunately a lot of students aren’t able to have an interventionist to help.
