Editorial Reviews

Booknews
Several specialists in education and linguistics, all from the U.K., explore effective methods for developing literacy and literature in bilingual children. Coverage includes what educators need to know about children's bilinguality and how they make meaning; strategies of nursery school-aged bilinguals and how adults can support their learning; case studies of young bilingual readers and strategies to aid them; process writing and choice of optimum topics for bilinguals; the use of imagination to enable bilinguals to interact with literature at a deeper level, and to transfer and transform their reading experience to writing; the policies and practices of four schools demonstrating ways to address bilingual students' needs at the whole-school level; the needs of refugee children and associated challenges for the schools.
