Dimensions of Early Childhood

In our diverse world, it is important for students to become bilingual whether their native language is English or Spanish. In the article "Classroom Labels that Young Children Can Use: Enhancing Biliteracy Development in a Dual Language Classroom," Irasema Salinas-Gonzalez, Maria G. Arreguin-Anderson, and Iliana Alaní discuss the benefits of labeling objects and parts of the class room in both English and Spanish. The authors also address practical activities teachers can involve their students in so that everyone is immersed in a language rich learning experience.
