This includes preteaching essential vocabulary and making connections to concepts with which ELLs are already familiar, as in choice (D). Multicultural references can help students understand concepts and feel more at home during the lesson. Allowing ELLs to skip the more complex work the class is doing (A) or work on addition (B) ensures that these students will fall farther behind the class in math without advancing in the development of their English language skills. Asking these students to read problems aloud (C) not only does not reveal whether the students understand what is being asked, as there may be no correlation between their pronunciation and comprehension, but also may make them feel uncomfortable if they encounter unfamiliar words.<\/p>\n            <\/div>        <\/div>    <\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><br \/>\n\t<div   class='av_promobox  avia-button-no   avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_toggle_container  el_before_av_toggle_container '>\t\t<div class='avia-promocontent'><p>\n<b>Question 2<\/b><br \/>\nWhich support personnel would most likely be responsible for coordinating services for a child who felt unsafe at home?<br \/>\nA.

The IEP team leader\u2019s job is to tailor curricula and the school environment to the special needs of particular students; a person with this role would likely report abuse allegations to a counselor rather than coordinate the school\u2019s response, so (C) is incorrect.
