Most Recent Research
SIOP researchers also used the IMAGE (Illinois Measure of Annual Growth in English): Mandated by the state of Illinois to measure program validity and reliability.
The IMAGE is a summative academic achievement test which measures how well ELLs perform academically in English from year to year. 
The test content is the same as the ISAT with language accommodations made for ELLs.
Most recent results are below:

14. What is Sheltered Instruction?
SIOP Workshop 2008
What is Sheltered Instruction?
A means for making grade-level academic content (e.g., science, social studies, math) more accessible for English language learners while at the same time developing their English language skills.
The practice of highlighting key language features and incorporating strategies that make the content comprehensible to students. (adjusting speech, providing background information, using appropriate instructional tasks)
Sheltered Instruction classrooms mix native & ELLs and integrate language & content while infusing sociocultural awareness.
An approach that can extend the time students have for getting language support services while giving them a jump start on the content subjects they need for graduation.

What is known about poor readers…
They read less often because reading is difficult and frustrating.
Poor readers don’t read enough to improve their vocabulary knowledge.
Poor comprehension is a result of not reading.
The cycle results in a gap between proficient and non- proficient readers that grows exponentially.
Being a poor reader may lead to school drop out.

“One of the most persistent findings in reading research is that the extent of students’ vocabulary knowledge relates strongly to their reading comprehension and overall academic success.”

31. Is it worth it? An average student learns about 3,000 words per year.
SIOP Workshop 2008
Is it worth it?
An average student learns about 3,000 words per year.
For students who learn only 1,000 words per year, a gain of 300 words equals a 30% increase
This is significant if repeated year after year.
- Stahl, 1999

Presentation:
Review the objectives and tell students that they will be making addition stories using the flannel boards and practicing using three important words (first, then, together). Explain that they will also be writing the equation that goes with the addition story. Using a flannel board, model how to tell an addition story using the three key vocabulary words. Write the corresponding equation on a white board. Check for understanding during the modeling by including students in the story telling. Ask students to tell a story and help with writing the equation.
