The Common Framework of Reference (CFR) is a criterion-referenced performance scale that supports educators as they work with a growing demographic of learners that require English as an Additional Language (EAL) supports. In order to ensure that such learners attain high levels of achievement across the Saskatchewan curriculum, the use of reference scales and corresponding resources is valuable to teacher planning and development of:
effective strategies to support English language learners; consistent approaches to instruction and assessment based on language needs; and, ongoing monitoring of student progress over time.
The Common Framework of Reference (CFR) is a well-established language framework that identifies ways in which learners at various levels of proficiency use language to perform meaningful, authentic tasks. The descriptors within the CFR identify observable behaviours that can be structured to support the attainment of provincial curriculum outcomes for EAL learners.

Word document of the Sun West School Division Initial EAL Interview
A scope and sequence is included. 25 lessons are provided with a structure that includes: pre-reading, first read, second/third read, comprehension check, fluency check.
This course provides language development opportunities in the four skill areas (listening, speaking, reading, and writing), in representing, and in viewing. Initial emphasis will be on developing oral language skills but all literacy readiness skills are incorporated.
Furthermore, since basic numeracy skills are needed for everyday communication and academic life, these students will gain awareness of the relationship between language and numbers. Students will have the chance to explore a range of practical and academic math applications.
Students will have opportunities to develop basic English language skills for communicating about self, family, school and community as well as the literacy, language and skills needed for .eventual participation in ELA and other content areas.
Finally, this course helps students develop confidence to learn in a formal setting and reduce the gap between the students’ age and the target academic skills for their age group.
Phonological awareness skills are important in order to develop good reading and spelling skills. Having good phonological awareness skills means that a child is able to manipulate sounds and words, or “play” with sounds and words. For example, you might ask your child to break the word “cat” into individual sounds: “c-a-t.”
Important: These skills deal with SOUNDS not letters. For example, /t/ represents the sound and not the letter name “tee.” You will not use any written or visual letters when working with phonological activities. These activities are done with listening and speaking only. Learning the letter names and their corresponding sounds is also very important but should be taught and practiced at a different time of the day.
This resource will have a weekly activity for your to work on with your child/student(s). It will include a handout with information and guidance, as well as a video to help support you and the learner.
