Multi-modalities as accommodations

It is important to understand that traditional text is only one form of modality. There needs to be multiple forms in order to reach all learners in the classroom.
the purpose of multimodalities is to “increase an audience’s receptions of an idea or concept” which means that every accommodation and modification through the usage of multimodalities must be strategic because the purpose is to enhance a student’s learning of a concept (The Audiopedia, 2017).

When it comes to reading many english language learners will have a difficult time reading english books because they do not know how the words are supposed to be pronounced. using an audiobook can be an accommodation to assist them in reading. Here is a link to the novel Esperanza Rising, a book that uses both Spanish and English so that students can hear what the words are supposed to sound like while also hearing its Spanish translation.
