Description
Reimagining Early Childhood Education for Dual Language Preschoolers: Enhancing Children's Agency through Inquiry, Writing, and Reading introduces the Interdisciplinary Biliteracy Sequence (IBS), a framework designed to support bilingual learning in preschool classrooms. The authors share insights from a year-long research project where dual language teachers implemented the IBS with preschool emergent bilinguals. Through classroom examples, they illustrate how this approach integrates active exploration, knowledge-building, and biliteracy development. Emphasizing the power of play and multimodal learning, they highlight how educators can leverage children's cultural and linguistic assets to foster meaningful learning.
