Seesaw ELD was developed with language and content experts and follows the WIDA framework.
Students learn, practice, and build confidence in a safe space that honors students’ strengths and experiences.
Audio inputs and modeling make grade-level content, complex ideas, and new vocabulary accessible, which drives language acquisition.
Students use audio recording, video, and screen recording tools to practice without the pressure of performing in front of others.
Students can listen to their recording and progress – a powerful learning experience that builds ownership, motivation, and confidence.
Multilingual Learners, also known as English Language Learners (ELLs), English Learners (ELs), or Emergent bilingual learners (EB), are the fastest-growing demographic of students across the U.S., making English language development (ELD) a high-priority area for schools and districts across the United States.
A 2023 pilot study was conducted across 5 United States elementary schools in California and Wisconsin and resulted in significant engagement and language acquisition metrics.
Seesaw ELD engages our multilingual learners in ways not possible through traditional pencil and paper workbooks. I have found students are enthusiastic when they use the multimodal tools to record their voice and then listen to their responses.
Students have simple sentences to work within, real-world modeling, and ample practice opportunities.
Students expand sentences in oral interaction and written paragraphs, experiment with more specific and technical language, and continue to have opportunities for guided practice.
Students incorporate specialized or technical language in content areas. They use a variety of sentences and sentence lengths. Oral or written language is comparable to English-proficient peers.
Students build math fluency and confidence through engaging activities that provide opportunities to explain their understanding of foundational concepts, including numbers, counting, fractions, algebraic thinking, data, and more.
Exploring phenomena across topics in Physical Science, Life Science, Earth and Space Science, and Engineering, students investigate scientific questions, make observations, and construct scientific arguments using evidence.
Students engage with narrative and informational texts to practice and apply reading comprehension skills, such as asking and answering questions, making inferences, and comparing and contrasting.
Through inquiry-based activities, students explore culturally relevant topics in economics, geography, government, and history to make connections to real-world experiences and issues.
