Description and Table of Contents

Description

The most up-to-date research findings to demonstrate how ignoring children's bilingualism perpetuates inequities in their schooling. What makes this book truly useful is that it offers a thorough description of alternative practices that would transform schools and students' futures, such as building on students' home languages and literacy practices in schools.
