WIDA CAN DO descriptors and ELL

As the tutor of an ELL student, it is important for me to have the ability to recognize where my student falls on the WIDA CAN DO descriptors chart (see chart below). Today I looked further into W's listening, an area the student tends to be weaker in when compared to the other categories. After looking through the different levels and their descriptors, I came to the conclusion that I believe my student is a level 3 listener. When the two of us are working on projects with one another and I try to explain something to him in words, he often has to refer back to whatever written directions he has. He connects what he is hearing to what he is seeing in order to feel comfortable and fully grasp the concepts. In addition to this, when I explain to him something he doesn't understand, I often ask for him to repeat back to me in his own words what I had just previously stated. This allows for me, as his tutor, to evaluate for myself his understandings. I do this in order to make sure he is fully understanding everything. However, with all of this being said, he is able to sort out the main ideas from the supporting details, as well as get the general gist of the points I am trying to make to him. Putting all of this together led me to believe that W is currently a level 3 listener, however, I can see him soon moving up to a level 4!
