Supported the Language, or Removed the Challenge?

Designed as deliberate practice in the call a para supporting an English language learner makes a dozen times a day: after your move, is the student still doing the same thinking — just with the words within reach? Quick reps — read the moment, make the call, see the why.

The categories

Supported the language — The words were put within reach — a visual, a frame, a home-language route in — and the student still had to do the same thinking the rest of the class was doing.
Removed the challenge — The thinking itself got smaller, or the language dropped below what the student could still grow on — so what came back shows less than the student can actually do.
