			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>This powerful teaching tool focuses on reading and writing development and is an excellent complement to all DynEd courses. It helps students develop their reading and writing skills, build vocabulary, and gain access to authentic materials for school and vocation.</strong></p>
<p><a name="Overview"></a></p>
<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>e-Lective provides ESL students with the individualized support they require to gain quicker access to grade-equivalent curriculum or professional support materials. Students learn how to read between the lines rather than just skim across the surface of the text. e-Lective was designed and developed by Sotirios Chascas and <em>Jim Cummins</em>, a leading expert on literacy and bilingual education (ELL, ESL). It creates an electronic environment that supports learners in reading texts that previously they could not have understood. Any text in electronic form can easily be imported into the e-Lective environment. It then provides the support that students need to understand the text and the vocabulary within the text. Difficult text is transformed into comprehensible input.</p>
