Welcome to ESL Word Nerds!
We’re two National Board Certified teachers who are still in the classroom, nerding out over structured literacy, visual supports, and all things vocabulary. After years of teaching multilingual learners—and seeing huge success with our students—we’re here to share what actually works.
We are creating six high-impact books that follow a scope and sequence designed specifically for English learners—and they get results. Download the first level for free and come be a Word Nerd with us!
Follow our YouTube channel for quick, powerful micro-videos that show exactly how we teach each sub-step!
