Learning in two worlds

Teachers who work with children learning to read and write in two languages will find practical guidance here on shaping both the curriculum and the classroom space to build literacy in Spanish and English. The book rests on a central idea: a child's home language and cultural knowledge should be woven into literacy teaching and into the way literacy spaces are arranged. Lessons are planned around what children care about, what they already do well, and where they need support, and the approach joins the two languages within that work. Written for educators and students of bilingual literacy.
