Espinosa and Ascenzi-Moreno show how our emergent bilingual students who speak multiple languages in their daily lives thrive when they can use translanguaging to tap into the power of their entire linguistic and sociocultural abilities.
In addition, the authors present effective literacy practices that help emergent bilinguals succeed in reading and writing. The core of this approach is respecting and utilizing the language and cultural resources that emergent bilinguals bring to school, and basing instruction on their strengths. Having knowledge of more than one language is truly a gift to the classroom! This book includes a foreword by Ofelia Garcia.
