| Supporting Emergent Bilingual Children in Early Learning | From the Education Development Center (EDC):"Across the United States, young children’s first learning experiences outside the home often happen in child-care settings, and many children come to school as emergent bilinguals (i.e., children who are exposed to two or more languages, also known as dual language learners). Research shows that learning multiple languages is very beneficial for development, yet few early child-care educators know best practices for supporting the learning of more than one language. This checklist, which is based on research, will help those who want to support children’s bilingual learning within a rich literacy and language classroom environment." | Document |
