Overview

To support second-language learners and put them on the path to academic success, every early childhood educator needs this popular, practical, and highly readable guidebook from leading researcher Patton Tabors. Reflecting the dramatic changes in early education since the first edition was published, this fully revised edition prepares teachers to apply cutting-edge research to their everyday teaching practices, address the recommendations of the National Association for the Education of Young Children for responding to linguistic and cultural diversity, use appropriate assessment techniques for children's first and second languages, including an easy-to-use observation checklist to monitor English-language learning over time, discover ways to improve literacy instruction for all children, including literacy practices checklists that pinpoint areas needing curriculum support, understand and attend to the particular needs of internationally adopted children, conduct thought-provoking professional discussions with the bookclub-ready study guide and materials.

Teachers will also get updates on all of the key topics covered in the first edition, including working with parents and using the curriculum to facilitate English language and literacy learning. Ideal for professional development, this book is the best tool a teacher can have to support the language and literacy development of second-language learners while honoring their home languages and cultures.
