Level+5

A level 5 students is considered to be at an advanced stage. These students behaviors will typically be: - Paraphrase/ synthesize content material - Generates discussions - Socially comfortable - Understands and makes plays on words - Reads/writes at grade level

A level 5 student has the ability to comprehend and discuss grade level material fairly easily. Typically if they are confused about something a quick explanation will clarify questions that the student has. They still need support from the program but are able to participate in classroom activities with native speakers. Most often, they seem to be socially comfortable. When working with the students, paraphrasing the material is beneficial and group activities are appropriate for this level. The use of advanced organizers helps them to understand more difficult concepts.

We can expect level 5 students to ask and engage in higher order thinking questions and read and write at grade level.
