At ESL Word Nerds, our mission is to empower educators of multilingual learners with research-based, classroom-tested tools rooted in the science of reading. We believe every English learner deserves structured, visual, and vocabulary-rich instruction that makes language accessible, engaging, and meaningful. Through high-quality resources and practical strategies, we equip teachers to build confident, literate students—one word at a time.

At ESL Word Nerds, we share everything we’ve learned (and are still learning!) to equip educators with the tools, strategies, and confidence they need to help multilingual learners thrive. Whether you’re just beginning your teaching journey or looking to deepen your practice, you’ve found your people—and your toolkit.

Let’s nerd out over words together. You bring the students; we’ve got the strategies.
