Dear Dr. Nora, I found your comments interesting because I pretty much have had the same argument, however, it relates to American born children that are Dyslexic and I imagine ELL students and Dyslexic students view it as Greek or ελπίδα The translation is Hope, however as you point out not having mastered English Reading wouldn't allow them to translate.

While I see you point, I take issue with ELL students, because we cannot even focus on getting children tested who show obvious weaknesses and make them take the NECAP. Unfortunately, it isn't until after the 3rd grade (after the Reading to Learn) has been established and the child has a gap that finally they concede to then looking at. The proficiency is overlooked and redirected to experimenting with such children.

I was at the Legislative Hearing last year that heard the argument in the RI House concerning your points made. This argument was directly followed with a plea to also to recognize and treat Dyselxia. Sadly, neither passed. In the meantime, as you point out...we are diminishing the opportunities for our children and in the end lowering the bar of education.
