Multilanguage Learners

Students identified as Multilanguage Learners are provided classes designed to promote the development of necessary skills to meet North Reading Public School’s learning expectations.  Instruction is designed to support students while enrolled in their core academic subjects.

Sheltered English Immersion Programs

Massachusetts law defines SEI as "an English language acquisition process for young children in which nearly all classroom instruction is in English but with the curriculum and presentation designed for children who are learning the language. Books and instruction materials are in English and all reading, writing, and subject matter are taught in English. Although teachers may use a minimal amount of the child's native language when necessary, no subject matter shall be taught in any language other than English, and children in this program learn to read and write solely in English."

Please contact Sean Killeen, Assistant Superintendent for Teaching & Learning for support or additional information.
