Bring your science and reading vocabulary lessons to life with this fully editable Google Slideshow designed specifically to support your diverse learners! Originally created as a visual companion to the ReadWorks text "Responding to Natural Disasters: Earthquakes, Landslides, and Volcanic Eruptions," this comprehensive deck serves as an invaluable tool for dual-language classrooms, English Language Development (ELD) programs, and inclusive environments.

🌟 Perfect for ELD and Inclusive Classrooms

• Targeted ELD Scaffolding: Help English learners bridge the gap between complex science texts and comprehension. Every vocabulary slide pairs the target English word with its Spanish translation (e.g., earthquake / terremoto, volcanic eruption / erupción volcánica, landslide / deslizamiento de tierra) and a simplified definition.
• UDL Alignment: If you utilize the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework, this product provides multiple means of representation. The visual anchors give diverse learners equal opportunities to engage with high-level informational text.
• IEP Supports: These dedicated placeholder slides make it seamless to drop in real-world images or highly engaging GIFs to support visual learners and fulfill mandatory text-to-image IEP accommodations.
