    Getting Started needs to be looked at with the title's call--it is a beginning!

    This book is a good, beginning overview of the issues dealing with ELLs. There are a few inaccuracies in the glossary, as well as a limited depiction of the limited types of ways to assist ELLs as if those were the only ways; but if there is a knowledgeable ESL teacher in the district, s/he can tweak these and others. If educators then take the book's information, consider the title as a clear direction of getting started, and look more into areas they don't quite know/understand, then it can be a most useful resource. However, not many educators take the time to sus out the research behind information in general and administrators are even less inclined to do so, unfortunately purchasing books/materials as if they offered a definitive answer for educators. That said, educators and other staff members can use this text as a resource for staff and professional development to prompt more discussion about ELLs, their families, their culture in a celebratory manner that adds to the rich fabric of the population that is changing and is served.
